The half Marathon race

It was 93 degrees when I finished my 13.1 miles. I wasn't sure if I was going to throw up for pass out first! I can't wait to do another race!!!
It was the hardest thing I have ever made my body do. I thought during mile 12 that my legs might just fall off. It was just so, so very hot out!

I loved that I trained and completed the race! Training in the cold and cool weather made it hard to run in the heat but somehow I pushed my body to do it. It's really amazing what a body can do if the mind just tells it to do it!

Below is a little video charlie took when I was on Mile 6. I am all smiles and really enjoying it.

There is another video of me really close to the finish line but I look half dead. Just enjoy this video where it looks like running is only lots of FUN!

Anyone wanna do the half marathon in the Hamptons in September with me?
