Today I ran the Halloween Half Marathon. It is probably the prettiest run I have ever done - absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I am thankful that Adrienne ran with me and kept me going - I could not have done it by myself! Around mile 10 I got pretty tired, mile 11 I was wondering what the heck I was doing and how I was going to get the last 2 miles in and mile 12 I decided that if I stopped to walk I would just lay down and not finish hehe I even sprinted across the finish line :)
There were an insane amount of runners (over 2500!) a lot of them dressed in costume. I wasn't dressed up but since Adri was I borrowed her makeup and zombied up my face.
I did not train as I should have - I think I ran 3 times in the 6 weeks before this race haha NOT a good plan. Still that being said I think I did ok, officially the 1/2 marathon is 13.1 miles but my gps said I ran 13.7 and I am going with that! I finished in 2 hours 25 minutes and 5 seconds. Not too shabby if I say so myself! I really want to do this run again - with more training for sure! I'll post more pictures later (need to get them from Adri because I didn't take a camera!
