Congratulations to all my Mentees who Did The Damn Thing. I am very proud of you. Yvonne- I couldn't find you since you were running under an alter ego! : ) It was an absolutely GORGEOUS day. I loved hearing everyone oooh and ahhh over the beauty of the city. When it came time to come down the hill toward Ocean Beach there was a collective sigh at how stunning it looked. Made us all forget all those damn hills for a second.
There is no doubting it...this is a hard race. I am SO glad that me and the girls have decided only to run the half..ahhh bless you. Ian and I started together but I quickly made him go on his own as I could tell I was holding him back a bit. The girls decided that we would all run this race for ourselves : ( no more holding hands through the finish lines. We've matured and are ready to battle our own records. I did miss them during those long ass hills I have to say. We all DEEPLY miss MEG!!! Shout out to Meg! It's not the same without you sweetheart. WE LOVE YOU!!
When it came to the 1/2 vs full marathon split I smiled to myself that I was almost done yet reminding myself that in a weeks time I will need to be doing a full. Bummer.
I finished strong and was "pleased" with my time. Official clock says 2:10 ...my watch minus 2 pee breaks was 2:05...My pace was 9:56 which is pretty good. I'm definitely improving. Someday I'll come in under 2 hours. I'll just have to keep doing TEAM!
