So I'm sorry this is a little late but its just been a whirl wind lately.... now that the weather is nice again cough cough 75 degreeess :) But more importantly I want to tell yall about my INCREDIBLE weekend run!!!!
So I have decided that every run has to be started with the mindset that I am going to freaking crush it- because to be honest its how I try and approach every other challenge I face :) So I was looking forward slash TERRIFIED of running 16 miles but hey what the heck why can't I do it?! I have surprised myself each and every weekend with what my body will put up with. I just want to take you back to when Britt first asked me if I wanted to run a marathon. I laughed at her and said hell no lol... but crazy me after I chatted with my mom and Harrison I said ok I have two of my biggest supporters telling me my body will put up with this torture. But to be honest I had no idea how my knees would feel about this decision I made for them. Turns out THEY DONT HATE ME!!! YAAAAAY :) I not only ran the ENTIRE 16 miles but we ran it in 9 1/2 min miles boooyaaaaaahhh. Oh and not only did we run it in 91/2 min miles buuut it was also done in a freaking sandstorm. Never (ok well maybe this is a complete lie) but never have I ever had so much sand in every crevice of my body! But hey we all now how much I absolutely love the sand :)
Lets just say I could not have done ANY of this without my training buddies... this weekend Mary Lynn literally saved me. Around mile like ehh 10-12 it gets a little challenging my knees get tired and if I did not have her by my side I dont know what I would have done. Again I do not know what I did to deserve such an amazing life but like I always have been taught things happen for a reason and right now I dont know why but I am completely ok with life and how it is just at this moment.
Bring it on 18miles I can't wait to take you on this coming Saturday!!!
