Run a half marathon. - Check.
Well, I did it! Last week at this time I was a bit apprehensive about the whole event. Now, I'm so excited and proud of myself for finishing that I've been researching other half marathons.
It was such a great run! A little warmer this expected but I made it through... Each Pittsburgh neighborhood was so welcoming with throngs of spectators, cheer teams and bands. It helped take my mind off the heat, pain and realization that I still had six, eight or 10 miles left.
Thanks to Amy for encouraging me to run and participating with me. Thanks to my fabulous boyfriend for taking Amy and I downtown at the crack of dawn, cheering me through the finish line and treating me to lunch. Thanks to Amanda, Barb and Meg who also came to cheer me on.
Three days later I'm still running on adrenaline and waiting till I'm able to run again. The blisters, sore muscles and exhaustion are slowly dissipating. It was so worth it!
Congratulations to all the other runner! It was an amazing race!
