I did my first half marathon thanks to Val and JR in Ventura, CA. The weather was great and even rained for part of it. We had to get up early on Saturday to travel an hour to get there before 7. JR had every mile planned out and told me to stop making Val go faster. I pulled away from them at mile 5 and then waited for them at the half way point. Then I ran ahead of them but I should've stayed with them. I finished 5 minutes ahead of them at 2:05. I was doing okay until the last 3 miles. My hip hurt by the end and my foot but I just tried to keep going. I loved talking to people as I passed by them and it was fun to see older people walking or running and giving it their all. It took a lot of me and a few days later I was all ready to do another one. I thought I had trained well enough but the most I ran was 10 miles. It was fun to do it. Thanks Val and JR. |
