I don't have any pictures to share (although I looked smashing) but hopefully my family will email me some soon so I can show you all! This morning was so cold it caught your breath. And when I shed my jacket, it was worse. After we started, I didn't feel cold until the end (when I was freezing). The course was supposed to be really hilly and I was scared, but it wasn't very bad (we think that it's because we trained on semi-hilly terrain). The worst part about the race was stopping at the first water stop about 2 miles in to use the porta potty. I even used one before we started but things get to moving....you understand. Took 5 whole minutes (lots of people, 2 portas) to get back on course. But once we did, I didn't feel like walking until the very end. Even when we had to go up this mile-long hill (not super steep, just long). I wasn't going super fast...never did the whole race (and I was very snail-ish at the end), but I didn't walk at all. That was ...

I ran in the Rock Your Socks Half Marathon & 10K Virtual Race yesterday (found here ). I meant to run Saturday but my husband worked all day, so I didn't get the chance. After staying up way too late watching Return of the King, I set out just after 6am for my 10K. It was hard! Lots of hills to contend with (no dogs, surprisingly). I ended up walking parts of it so that time really isn't that bad! I ate a banana right before my run; probably not the best idea (although I didn't throw it up so that was good). I almost passed out awhile after I got home, but some water and PB&J rejuvenated me. I found a nice riding place for my water bottle in the back of my sports bra (haha). Anyway, let's just say I'm glad it's done. My first 10K! Sorry no pictures. I didn't Rock My Socks...I barely have any plain white socks let alone fun ones.
