Hey, ya'll!!!! I just got back from the race. I finished the 1/2 marathon without any medical attention!!!! I ran the first mile for MC...he asked, and it was the only one I was certain I would be able to run!! But, I did run more...in fact, I think I met my goal of running 10 miles total throughout the race. So, the rest of my steps were for all my other friends here!!!

I finished in 2:43:27! For me, a very slow runner, that was great. In fact, when I signed up, my goal was 2:50:00. So, I did even better than that! And, considering I did walk quite a bit, my finishing pace was also better than expected.

I'm doing this again...in fact, it may be my new hobby. It was so fun! There were bands at each mile marker and there were tons of supporters cheering us on throughout the race.

Tonight I'm going with my friend who met me here and the new friend I met the other night to have steak, a loaded baked potato, and a large margarita before we head to the Cult concert.

I'll have some time in the morning before I fly home to check in on everyone. I hope you all had good weekends.

Love you!!!
Amy
