Whatever happened to that Half Marathon??

Well you see what happen was.....
The nifty running log and new shoes only motivated me for 1.5 weeks....and not to make excuses BUT then finals hit and I started my 7 week long internship that was nearly the death of me...so needless to say the Half Marathon training was thrown to the bottom of my priority list. LUCKILY I was not alone in this failed attempt, Kellie also did not train (Im sure Kel has her own excuse as well) and so therefore we decided to drop down to the 5K race instead.

SO the race reinforced the fact that I am horribly out of shape and need to get my butt in gear before it becomes harder and harder....I was however able to run most of the race (Kel smoked me) and these were my dreadful results:

  • Overall: 1140 out of 2508
    Women: 591 out of 1621
    F 25-29: 121 out of 276
    Age/Grade: 44.83% Place: 1159
    Finish: 33:02 Pace: 10:38
    Tag Time:33:02
    Gun Time:35:18We did finish and got these really cute little metals that will be treasured forever! Haha JK! Kellie was already looking for a trash can to toss it in, this picture was only because she is a trooper when it comes to my picture taking. I do want to one day complete a half marathon and even possibly a marathon. I wish I would have trained like I had planned, oh well maybe next year!
