It was awesome to see everyone working towards a goal and everyone finishing. The start line was seriously packed and it was so invigorating.
Started out strong but about mile 1.5 started TOTALLY slacking. D.D. stayed behind with me and she was an amazing motivator. We walked a bit at that point, it was on a hill so I cant say I minded. Then we rocked it. We hit the turn around and started feeling better. We talked, we ran, we walked its what we do. The coolest thing is that at the 2 mile marker it was also the 12 mile marker, so I totally got my pic at the 12 mile sign! AH HA! It was awesome. D.D. got took all the pics so I will share them when she loads them.
So at that point I started to get really really emotional. I CRIED! If you know me at all you know this doesnt happen. It felt so great to be there, to be a part of it, and to know that I could do it. We finished strong and my family was there to supprt me at the finish line. Elane came running up to me and hugged me and then I started balling! It meant so much to me for them to be there but I want more than anything to be a good role model for her and I want her to grow up strong and confident. Hopefully these steps are making a difference and showing her how it is done.
Now I am totally waiting for the stats. IT IS KILLING ME! that they are not up yet. I know patience is a virtue, believe me, but I just want to know how I did. I finished, and that is all I was going for on this one so I am happy no matter how I did. I just want to know how I did so that I can push myself to do better.
At the end I was awarded with the most wicked cool 5K bling, check it!
Anyway, looking for the next one. Thinkin 10K? Anyone intersted?
