Whoopie! All that training and hard work for a half marathon that ended in 2 hours and 40 minutes, haha. The hardest part of this whole experience was training and surprisingly on race day I ran without complaining to which Tim was very happy about. Something about running with a mass of people and hearing people cheer for you gives you energy that carries you to the end. Along the way we saw a total of 4 men that passed out. They didn't look like someone that would pass out, they seemed physical fit, but I guess you really can't tell what's happening internally. I think it was all the hills/mountain that pushed a lot of us to the point of exhaustion and fatigue. When I saw the finish line I started to tear up...I don't know about others, but this race was pretty emotional for me because when I first started training I couldn't even run for 5 minutes straight. I was also thankful for my husband being there for me, encouraging me, training me and helping me from the beginning to the end. It was a culmination of many things that caused me to almost shed a tear, but I held it together, haha. It's over now and I'm actually considering running another one come October.
