And it was very cold. My fingers were icicles and my toes froze. We did the best we could to stay warm.
We ran most of it but it jammed up near the finish line and we had to walk to it. I definitely wasn't focused on my PR with this race. Nonetheless, it was fun and I loved the atmosphere. Many people have told me that races are addicting. For some reason, they are! I'm doing my first half marathon (Vancouver USA Marathon) on June 17th with my best friend from high school, Michelle (see photo of us below!) and Foot Traffic Flat half marathon on the 4th of July with another friend, Ivy. I have yet to run close to 13 miles and can't quite fathom that right now but I start my Hal Higdon's Novice 2 training program tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to both of these races!
Way to go!
ReplyDeleteAwesome Christina! Races are so addictive and the Hal Higdon plans are great.
ReplyDeleteYou go girl!!! Damn, I wish I was a runner but I've come to the realization that I'm just...well, not. Got your email, will write you back soon :)
ReplyDeleteYou're so damn cute, too!!
You go! I've never run a race...maybe someday. :-)
ReplyDeleteAwesome. Glad you had fun. There is NO way I could train for a half soon enough...but one of these days I want to do a run with you. Maybe another 5k? Good luck with your half training!
ReplyDeleteThis was my first race too!!! And I am right behind you with my first half :)
