Half marathon race report

by workoutmommy on April 19, 2008

I did it! I had an amazing time at the race today and proudly tackled the crazy mountains hills that were all over the course. It was a great challenge though and I will definitely be back next year.

My mental list came in handy when the going got tough, especially #12. Yes, I enjoyed every single lick of the chocolate ice cream that I got after the race!

Thanks again for all your well wishes, I hope your weekend has been an active one!

Wow, congratulations WorkoutMommy! You inspire me, although right now I’m at the 5K-is-my-challenge stage, I really do hope I will progress to a half marathon in my running future.

I was thinking about you yesterday. How did the race feel? Was the toughness of it as hard or easier than you expected?

Congrats.

Fitness guy–it was harder than I expected. I heard there were hills, but these hills were HUGE!! It felt great to finish though.

Awesome time- those hills were big- I was glad we ran Linton Hall Road so many times, that definitely helped up out Saturday. Sorry we never ran into each other…..one of these days!
