13.1 things to think about

This weekend my sister Lisa and I ran in the Spinx !/2 marathon in Greenville, Sc

Although she's a runner and athlete 

This was HER First Official Marathon 

 

Anyone whose run long distance knows this stuff is tough!

 I was so proud AND happy to see her cross that finish line. 

In fact she bought a 13.1 sticker for the back of her car.

She's Hooked.

Official Recognition of a Real Marathoner!! 

13.1 miles = 21.0824064 kilometers

13.1 things to think about

Mile 1 ~ I'm cold

Mile 2 ~ This is so easy

Mile 3 - I'm hot, I hate this

Mile 4 - Are you kidding me?
Where's the finish line?

Mile 5 - I'm hungry, where's McD?

Mile 6 - I'm thirsty, I.need.a.drink.
Finish line, where are you?

Mile 7 -  Ya know,  this isn't so bad.

Mile 8 - Leg cramp. Where is that stupid Bus?
Finish? Line?

Mile 9 - Are you kidding me? Another dumb Hill?

Mile 10 - Ok yes! Only 2 miles left!

Mile 11 - Wait! No! 2 miles left? What? 

Mile 12 - Are my feet and legs still moving? Are they attached?
Okay. So where's the finish line? 

Mile 13 - You mean I still have to run?

Mile 0.01 - I did it! So much fun!!!!!

Where's the chocolate?

You can't just buy those goodies off the shelf.

(okay. well. your not supposed to)

Hey, guess what... 

I beat my old time and had a personal record. Fastest pace to date!!

(Which isn't really that fast but faster than last year so...)
BUT the last 5 miles of this race was uphill!
