Hey y'all! How has your Monday gone???
I have to share a random personal post...sorry bloggie friends. I have to brag! I finished my first
and only FULL MARATHON yesterday and I can walk today! Here are a few pictures:
|
I'm on the right. My cousin-in-law is on the left. Run a mile...walk a minute! |
|
Run time! Most of the run was through corn fields and plains...welcome to South Dakota! |
|
Feet from the finish line!! Running with my friend Randi!
|
Getting told they ran out of medals...how does that happen? They claim they will mail it. They better.
Here I am (in the pink) with Randi....marathon finishers! Add that to the resume.... |
I am so incredibly proud to say I finished. I have been battling what I thought was a bad cold for the last two weeks. I ran through mile 15 and couldn't breathe. So, I walked/ran as much as I could for the next 5 miles. After mile 20, I couldn't take running so I had to walk. I'm not so happy about the amount of walking I did, but oh well. I still finished! After a big lunch at Burger King, I went to the Acute Care. Waiting 3 hours for some random doctor to tell me I didn't have a sinus infection, even though I know my body and that's what it is. Called my doctor this morning and I'm now on a z-pak for a sinus infection.
My students were SO excited to hear about the marathon this morning!! They are even more excited to see my medal when it arrives on my doorstep!!! :)
Hope you had a great Monday!!!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I am in awe, I would never even think of even attempting a marathon lol. BTW, I love personal stories like this, it makes it so much more fun to read blogs when you can see into a little piece of the person's life :)
