Rocked the 1/2


Early Sunday morning I headed to San Jose to run the Rock and Roll 1/2 Marathon. The half marathon went so well. I couldn't have imagined it going any better. I was thinking I wouldn't be able to run the last couple of miles because I had not trained enough. I did 2 long runs of 6 miles. I wasn't able to squeeze in the longer runs. My mother in law, Pat, and I ran together the whole time. We didn't even find the need to use our ipods. As we ran she told me of her fabulous idea about my speech. Pat thought I should do a speech on time management. I could speak of how I manage my hectic schedule and what tools I use to make it work. I kill to birds with one stone on my run. I planned my speech and I ran 13.1 miles. We might have improved on our time, but, I had to take 4 bathroom breaks. I guess I drank to much water. Last year I didn't have to stop at all. Although, maybe that's why the run did not feel difficult. I was well hydrated. We ran the whole way! When I got home I even rallied the family and we went to Toys R' Us. Truthfully Kylee and Marc seemed more tired than me. Go me, I am feeling good right now. I hope I am not to sore tomorrow.

I think that's a great idea for your speech!

And, you are KILLING me with going out Friday night, then to a wedding Saturday night, and running the half this morning. I was a huge couch potato yesterday after our night out and then barely managed to make it to the park today. :) You rock!
