The things you do

This past Sunday I did a half marathon! I know-what was I thinking? It was 44 degrees out when I started and it just wouldn't warm up too much. I ran along the Potomac River toward Mount Vernon. It was really windy out and at one point I just wanted Josh to pick me up! But I stuck it out and made it back to Pacers/finish line. It was a Nike Virtual Run. The actual Race was held in San Francisco. They didn't chip us but I finished with a girl that was all about her time and looked at her watch every minute toward the end. I ran 10minute miles which isn't great but I finished in 2hrs and 10minutes which isn't bad considering I'm usually the one that just walks or is standing at the finish line for Josh! There was only one water station too. I was crazy thirsty by the time I saw Josh and he already spotted water and a smoothie for me! For my victory race we went to TGI Fridays. Which every good race should follow up with a greasy dinner! Here are a few of my running thoughts:

Why do people do this, this isn't fun at all?

Are you kidding me, they are only running 5miles?

I hope no one can see my @ss! (I had to pee- and there was only one bathroom station the entire 13 miles)

I'm going to kill Josh! (right before I left I put on a zip up and he told me "don't over dress") I was freezing and it was crazy windy my legs were red/raw from the wind.

All in all it wasn't bad. Will I do it again-probably!
