I was able to run in the Hobbler half marathon again this year! I sprained my ankle about a month before and so i had to take 2.5 {critical} weeks of training off before the race. I started running about a week before the race. I really didn't know if i was going to be able to do it. But i DID and i was SOOO THANKFUL that i did. When i got injured i was looking at finishing the race at about 1 hour 50 mins. I was so elated with that time! After i got hurt i was just hoping to: 1) be able to run it and 2) finish by my time last year- 2 hours 30 mins..... AAAND i ended up with a time 2 hours and 8 minutes. Given the situation i was BEYOND HAPPY with that time. Joel and Suzy surprised everyone and showed up at the finish line. The only bad part about finishing the race that early was nate wasn't looking for me and didn't see me finish. I finally found him about 20 mins after i finished :( Next year......
this is what kate and i look like on a bus at 4:40 am.....
the sun started coming up....
..... and this was about 1 minute before the race began...
I was SO HAPPY that i had kate to run the race with. She started training about 6 weeks before the race and I don't think i would have pushed myself so hard ti run it if it weren't for her. I was so SUPER PROUD of her for taking something like this one!!!
