It felt amazing to look around at all my fellow runner/walkers. I couldn't believe I actually woke up, dressed myself, drove to Santa Monica, met up with 2 coworkers and started to run when everyone else did. This may sound conceited, but I am very proud for even showing up. Step 1!
My very deep thoughts during the race:
- Mile 1 marker - "Wait are you sure we're not at mile 3?!"
- Mile 2 thru Mile 4 markers - "The incline stops after mile 4, the incline stops after mile 4, the incline stops after mile 4...ahhhh"
- Mile 5 marker - "Go all the way, no stopping until the finish line! If anything, you have to beat that girl in blue.."
- Mile 6 marker - "Okay it'd be embarrassing to stop and walk with only .2 miles left. Ignore the ankle pain, the knee pain and the strange lower back pain I've never felt before!"
- FINISH LINE - "fijaojidfoje0829341!@#!@#23!!@#!@389s0d9f"
All in all, I'm very grateful for the opportunity, support of my friends and coworkers and my willpower to run this event. I'm excited to work hard in training for the Disneyland Half Marathon in September and the Nike Women's Half Marathon in October.
