I accomplished my second half-marathon in 2 weeks. I would never have thought I could ever have done this….but I did! I even cut off 9 min and ran it in 2 hours! It was the Nike Women’s run and since I wasn’t able to get into the race that was in the city I signed up for the virtual race. As long as you have Nike Plus, which is a little chip I put on my shoe and then records it to my Nano iPod. Then I plug my Nano into my computer and it uploads onto my Nike account. So, since we went camping on the weekend that I was supposed to run the half-marathon, I ran it in Fort Braggs. It was the most beautiful run I have ever done! Jon was so cute and supportive and drove the car to meet me at mile 3, 6, 9, and 11. He gave me water and energy sports beans.
Starting my warm up run. It was freezing when I started.
This is mile 3 and 8.
I had told Jon, Ben, and Anisha how I have always wanted to finish a race and run through the ribbon thing at the end. It was so funny when I came around the corner at the end of the run, Jon and Ben were holding a stick for me to cross through.
I wear orthotics, because I have really flat feet. They help so much with my joints, but unfortunately they give me the worst blisters! This was probably the worst part of the run.
