This past weekend was the Hobble Creek Half Marathon. Normally I would say that it's my favorite race because of the scenery and awesome route, but this year I was too busy trying not to throw up! :) I had the opportunity to run it with my dear friend, Leesa, who is an incredible runner! She stayed with me long enough to get me my best time thus far, but I hit the "wall" in the middle of the race and had to beg her to leave me so I could swear out loud and not feel bad about it! Thank heavens for the positive attitude and push of others - I finished with a PR (personal record) of 1:38:59, which put me at a 7:33/M pace, and put both Leesa and I in the top 100 for women. I finished 194 out of 1100 in all - and yes, Leesa beat me - by a lot. That still gives me the right to just walk my marathon in a few weeks right??? I'm getting too old for this stuff!
