After months of training alone in rain, wind, snow and extreme temperatures, yesterday was finally the day. It was my first organized group run, a half marathon. I was nervous and excited leading up to the the event, I had invested so much time and energy into preparation for this run. There was a pretty good sized group and registrations for the run had exceeded the planners expectations so there was a lot of excitement.
As an added bonus to the day Bronze was surprised with the day off since his route was canceled and they had extra drivers so he and the kids got to see me off and come back to see me finish.
The weather started off pretty nice but temperatures dropped drastically during the run. I ended up running against about 30mph winds for the last half and it was really cold but my family including my parents were waiting at the end to cheer me across the finish line.
I really enjoyed being able to participate in a half marathon and kind of thought it would just be one of those thing to check off the bucket list but now that I've finished I find myself thinking I'd like to do another one and maybe improve my time.
I don't know when or if there will be another one for certain but hope there will be.
