I did it!! A few weekends ago, two of my friends and I ran the full 25k (15.6 miles) without walking. I finished in 2 hours 33 min. Made me appreciate those who finish marathons in half that time. I don't know how they do it!
Besides the fact that I had to walk down the stairs backwards, I looked like a really old grandma when I stood up from the couch and I couldn't sit for longer than ten minutes without bending and straightening my legs, I felt great! haha. My knees hurt and I was very sore. But it was well worth it! And I am so glad I did it. It was quite the accomplishment.
My two cheerleaders pre-race. Love them!
Finish line...
(excuse the pictures. I stole them off the website. whoops.)
Post race with my Millie bug.
I am so glad I did it!
It was a lot of fun!
(believe it or not)
Wow, purely amazing. I'm beyond impressed. What a fantastic accomplishment.
