The Show Goes On

Staying up until one in the morning
Not training more then eight miles
Eating dozens of cookies
Halloween party
Dehydration...

Not the best day before running conditions.

But the show must go on, and indeed it did.

The show went on, my legs held up, and I did it. Woohoo. It was slow, it was painful, but now it is done. And for that I am stoked on life. I am amazed that people run double that, triple that, almost NINE TIMES THAT. Those crazy people.

I've heard it said, it is just a HALF marathon, it's not like its a marathon or anything. And to that I say...

You're observant. It is in fact NOT a marathon. But to that I also say... you get up and run thirteen miles!

So it may be just a half marathon. But I can't help but feel some bit of accomplishment. And I can't help but feel extreme gratitude for the girls that single handedly got me through mile 10. You all da best!! Nothing more motivating then girls you love waiting for hours in the freezing cold just to scream your name for the few seconds you run by. Gotta love em, and boy do I!

So training or no, cold weather or warm, the show goes on. And conveniently this was the song that played on repeat for miles 11 and 12 when I thought I was going to DIE! Hey thanks Lupe!
