Half Marathon

Last weekend I completed a half marathon, and boy is 13.1 miles better than running 26.2! I am sure you are thinking, duh! But after training for 26.2, it was simple to run the half. This being said, doesn't mean I didn't have funny thoughts going through my head. Here are some of the things that went through my mind as I was running:

• Mile 1: It is HOT! Like, I am sweating to death hot. Did i eat enough? I can’t eat this early in the morning. That oatmeal tasted like cardboard.
• Mile 2: Where is the sun? Why am I wearing a hat?!
• Mile 3: Is that a guy in a track suit? yes, yes he is
• Mile 4: Crap, a hill. crap, another hill. crap, ANOTHER HILL.
• Mile 5: Why are the aid stations never where I need them?
• Mile 6: oh look, somebody i know! Anne!
• Mile 7: Camera guy taking pictures. I am sure I will look like crap.
• Mile 8:DOWNHILLS ARE A GIFT FROM GOD. Oh my God, THIS DOWNHILL I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER.
• Mile 9: I can run forever
• Mile 10: This GU is disgusting. pineapple does not translate well to gooey form.
• Mile 11: There is a 13 year old running next to me.
• Mile 12: There is a person speed walking past me....
• Mile 13: Why do they put a hill at the end? Oh my...almost done

Running is always interesting...
