Last weekend I ran my second half marathon. The first one was 2.5 months ago. As my friends husband pointed out, we ran a full marathon, it just took us 2.5 months to do so.
This time Jim ran with Tina and I, we all ran together and had a lot of laughing. Jim told me if we would stop talking so much we could shave at least a minute off our mile. However, if we didn't talk we wouldn't run, because seriously, running 13.1 miles is soooo boring.
We met up with Lilly and Alysson at the finish line and made them run the last stretch with us. Lilly told me she was sorry she ran ahead of me, but her legs were just that much faster than mine.
I had a much faster recovery for this race. I could walk immediately and all my soreness was gone completely by Wednesday. That is a victory!
We all wanted to quit the race, we were actually trying to convince my dad to stay home and NOT do the race so we could all just sleep in Saturday morning and not run at all. Alas, he would not hear of it, and now we are grateful that we finished.
