Ran my 12th half marathon Saturday and it was not pretty. I felt good until mile 5...not good when there's still 8 to go. I will definitely attempt to train better over the next 4 1/2 weeks for Kiawah.
My sister and McKenzie made me my first sign for the race!! I saw them at the finish line and the announcer guy read it over the intercom as I finished...I loved it! Meg has the race bug so we're doing the Savannah bridge run in December, the Augusta half in February, then the Savannah half next year. Running is addicting I tell you.
Starting from the beginning...
Matt left Thursday afternoon for the hunting club so Macie and I had a chill evening full of new toys. I was supposed to run with my friend Jen Friday morning and totally forgot! I came home from a short 3 miles to a missed call and 4 texts from her asking where I was. Thankfully her gym is right by my apartment complex so she popped over there for a boot camp class before we headed to work.
Mom, Meg, and McKenzie arrived in Bluffton right around 4 on Friday. They came by the office to rescue me from work for the afternoon and for McKenzie to get the flu mist. Anddddd they brought me a doughnut, yum! We went home and all immediately changed into our pajamas. We ordered dinner in and watched Friends DVDs all night before heading to bed at 9ish.
We woke up before 4:45am Saturday morning to make the drive into Savannah for the race. We met up with Shane, Alissa, and Shane's parents to drive us closer to the start line. It worked out perfectly; we walked into our corrals at about 6:50...no waiting in the cold! Like I said before, this race was hard for me. No training or consistent running since the marathon made me curse myself throughout the whole run. I was so thankful to be done.
We all headed home afterwards and I took my time showering and getting ready before lunch and an afternoon of shopping. We rented Monsters University for mom, McKenzie and I to watch while Meagan and Adam went on their anniversary date. We were in bed by 8:30 and it was awesome.
We were up this morning at 7:30 and the girls were packed up and heading out the door by 9. I showered, washed a few loads of clothes, ran the dishwasher, and headed out for errands before Matt got home at 1. He had a big hunting weekend and ended up killed two nice sized bucks. Now he's asleep on the couch. We both had very fun weekends :)
My family is coming back on the 6th of December and I'm already pumped about it!!
