Another half, a great Father's day

Sunday, June 17, 2012

I was hoping for a personal best today... but it wasn't my day. I was feeling awesome, I was running hard.... It was so great running with my husband by my side, he was trying to help me get my pb.. and did a great job... mile 8 I hit the wall.. Mile 9 was a struggle... but by mile 10 I knew my parents and 4 kids would be cheering us on, I could here them chant go mom and dad go!!! I gave my one son that was closest a high five, and somehow.... my energy came back, and finished the race strong!!! I am proud that I finished at 1:58 as my secondary goal is to run under 2 hours. It was a beautiful day, a great course and so nice to see so many people cheering the runners on. It was a perfect day, being able to get up a 4am... have some breakfast and run with my amazing hubby... and to end it with dinner with my parents, children and husband.

    That sounds like a dream come true to run a half with your husband and your children cheering!

    Incredible time, PR or not! I'm shooting for a sub-2 in the fall. Need to start training harder. What a great day with family!
