I win for shortest shorts! yikes.
(me, half marathon. mckay, 10k)
Whew. I made it! I was so nervous! The week before I was having a hard time running because my legs just had had it, sore sore sore. I didn't know how I was going to run 13 miles on bum legs. Luckily I took some performance enhancement drugs (aka: ibuprofen) and the pain was gone in time for the race! I highly recommend this, it was a great experience.The lake the beautiful, the weather was a little gloomy but nice and cool, and there's nothing like crossing the finish line with everyone cheering for you!
Next time I do it, I need a running pal because it was a little lonely toward the end, and my i-pod went dead! I was doing pretty well until the last two miles- longest two miles of my life. When I was done I took off my shoes and had two Ginormous blood blisters on my feet and sharp pains in both my legs. It was kind of stupid because before this race, the longest run I did was 6.5 miles. Oops. But I learned, you're stronger than you think. I finished in about 2 and half hours- which isn't great but I made it! Hopefully the next one I will be able to train more and make better time. This was my first race ever so I'm just glad I went through with it and didn't give up. Anyone who is up for a half this summer let me know! The top of utah is the end of August and I hear is really fun.
