THAT WAS BRUTAL!!!!
I can't believe I made it through that race! I about died!

I didn't make my goal, but I have to admit, I AM TOTALLY HAPPY with my results. I DID THE BEST THAT I COULD! The sun was beating down on me and I was so hot! I felt like I was dying of thirst the last 5 miles. I flew through the first 6 miles, and even through Iriquois Park's hills, but as soon as I hit mile 6, I hit a wall. I thought...oh my gosh, I am not even half way done. When I hit shade, it was like a boost of energy came back on me. It was amazing how much that sun had an effect on me.
MY RESULTS: 2:08:22
Mandi and baby Braelyn came to see me cross the finishline with my mother-in-law, Glenys, and little Taylor. It was so nice to have that support.
Here is Glenys with Taylor on her shoulders looking for me at the finish line.
I was TOTALLY EXHAUSTED AFTER THE RACE!
I can't even tell you how great I feel to know that I accomplished that!I truly never thought I would ever run a mini marathon, especially knowing that I am not much of a runner! The only thing that got me through it was my PRIDE and DETERMINATION!
