Event #3 - 10 days ago I ran my last half marathon (I think ๐).
I do have to share quick details on how it played out because it will be one tell for years to come...
*Woke up thinking the race started at 8ish, so I took my time getting ready before heading out the door to house where we were going to Uber to race.
*Got to Tammy's neighborhood then remembered- Bibs!!! Had to turn around and head back home to pick up our bibs that I left on top of my dresser.
*Finally made it back to Tammy's with race bibs ๐
*We get the Uber, he takes the long way there and we get off. We got dropped off at the finish line thinking this was the starting line ๐ฌ๐ฆ๐ฉ volunteers were getting bananas, waters, Gatorades, and all post run goodies ready. They told us the starting line was about 4 blocks away.
*Knowing we were already late we started jogging to starting line. We get there and there's absolutely no runners, no walkers around...all waves had started!
Volunteers were literally starting to move stuff around and were cleaning up.
*I heard someone say " y'all are a little late, but go go go" lol ๐
*We went from jogging to starting line to getting there and just starting our race with no other runner around. This was new to me๐
*It was all good though, we started catching up with walkers, then runners, and by mile 2 or 3 no one could even tell that we were the last ones to start that race bahaha ๐๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
*The weather could have been a little better..My socks and shoes were pretty soaked..got 2 blisters.
*I got all kinds of splits during this race, I did like that lol! 14's, 12's, 10's ...mile 5-6 I got down to 8:52 per mile....I haven't seen those splits in a very long long time!
*Ended up speed walking the last Miles, taking lots of pics, and was focusing on taking it all in and being grateful for the things my body can do!๐๐
Sorry long post...had to share!!!!๐๐๐
This race was also meaningful since my girls were there!

Pushed every mile, so proud of y'all!!!!๐ฏ
