Great Run Tuesday Morning

   This morning started with 45 degrees and a bit of rain, and I was a little worried that it would be almost too cold to enjoy a good run. Thankfully though, I was able to get in a 3.16 mile run and it felt great, even though my ears were a little cold I had my gloves on which kept my fingers nice and warm. I think I am going to have to buy another long sleeve shirt though, I don't want anything to hot but I need it to keep me comfortable. I am also going to probably have to look into buying some tights long enough for when I start "growing", because I know the ones I have now won't fit here in a couple of weeks or months.

My 1st Half Marathon

  I can finally say I ran a Half Marathon, that I ran 13.1 miles and finished it. My clock time was 2:31:05 which gave me a 11:32 min/mile pace, isn't bad for my first Half though it probably would've been better if I hadn't taken 5 bathroom breaks which ended up with no results. I don't know if it is the pregnancy or a bladder infection that is causing me to feeling the ongoing sensation of having to pee. Not only that but my knees were hurting like hell, and I kept going even when I wanted to stop and walk.
  I am so happy with it though, I said that I would run this Half Marathon and I did it! My husband was there, along with my two step-sons, my mother, both of my sisters and brother were there to cheer me on. I received my medal for finishing at the end, and it feels good to  have one. I will post photos on facebook and runnersworld tomorrow, because I feel extremely lazy and tired right now.

Two Days and 9 Hours to Go!!!!!

    I am so excited and nervous, I can barely hold it together damn it! I am going to be all giddy walking into pick up my race packet/bucket tomorrow morning, I won't know what do with myself!! The Half Marathon is this Sunday, only 2 days and a few hours away. I am going to be tearing up when I cross that finish line, and I hope the whole race goes well with maybe a couple of bathroom stops (I would rather there be none).
   Tonight is the last night of Team 13, but I don't think I am going to go - this weather has warmed up to 83 degrees but it feels like 95 compared to 54 degrees in the mornings. I keep feeling the sniffles and sneezing a bit so I don't want to get sick before the race.
   I still cannot believe I am going to be running a Half Marathon this Sunday, it still feels like a dream. I am probably going to be sick to my stomach and nervous as hell the whole time, which is why I am so nervous because I am afraid it might slow me down some just out of concern on puking.
