Well, I had a goal to get first place and I KILLED IT!!!! I
got first place overall female! I can’t explain to you the feeling I had going
back to racing. Saturday was my first day back since almost a year. I just love being around “my people”. Walking
up to the race, all of the cars have “13.1, ironman, 5k, 10k” bumper stickers.
I’m always thinking “Ah! I have that! They GET me!”. When we got to the race,
it was freezing and of course I’m wearing spandex shorts (awesome idea). My
body was shivering, I had to pee every 5 seconds and I was shaking ridiculously
cause I was SO anxious to start. Once I started, I still couldn’t feel my legs
but my heart felt like it was going to pop out of my chest. During the race, I
slapped a butt (girl I knew), high fived some peeps and thumbs up’ed a few others.
Finally, as I wrapped around the last bend, people were cheering me on saying
“you’re first.. GOOO GIRL!!”. Just hearing people scream for me gives me
goosebumps which somehow makes me run faster. At this point, I’m literally
flying as I run past the finish line. The best feeling in the world.

| Gotta have our biggest supporter there!! |
My thoughts about a 10k? Why the heck was I wasting so much
time running a freakin half marathon while always getting sick the whole entire
day after?! The 10k was so short and sweet (although it WAS 6.37 miles not 6.2 like it should have been). My sister ran the half for this race and ended up throwing up the
rest of the night. As for me, I played ultimate Frisbee directly after the race.
Such a great day. Sorry Britt ;)
