I never imagined that I would have the strength to do such a thing but I did today. I'm so proud of myself and all my friends that passed the finish line today. It was a total of 13 miles and I got a time of 2 hours 33 minutes and 56 seconds. This isn't exceptionally fast but I was still proud because my personal goal coming into the race was just anything under 3 hours. During the race I ran comfortably for about 6 hours or so and then the right sole of my foot got very cramped. After that I could no longer run so I had to powerwalk the rest, running only for short distances when I could. Then at the 12th mile I saw this old lady powerwalking right in front of me. I couldn't let her beat me. At this point, all we had to do was run under a tunnel and turn around the street corner. I powerwalked to catch up to her but I wasn't quick enough. When I saw the tunnel, I immediately started to sprint and just kept on running until the finish line. I guess you could say that the adrenaline helped to push me during that extra half mile. I'll update next week with pictures.
Ok back to studying. I'm so sore. I'll be immobilized for the next 2 days!
