In January, I registered for the Earth Day Half Marathon. April 19 seemed soooooo long away, and I felt good about weeks of training. Twelve weeks, to be exact. It was a bigger commitment than I thought. Thank goodness Bennett and Harper are such good kids - and becoming pretty independent. They played while I ran each day, and often they would come cheer me on as I plodded along in the basement.
April 19th crept up on us, and the morning of the race arrived, and I awoke to 25mph winds and white spots that signify strep throat.
But, we did it, and just like the shirt says, "running sucks". Two and a half hours later, Annie Belle and I crossed the finish line. Anne could have left me in her dust, but she didn't. It's a good ting, too - as I'm pretty sure I would have quit or cheated, had I been running it alone.
Check that off my bucket list. (I don't have a bucket list - and if I did, I'm not actually sure this would be on it...)
