Okay, these pictures are in opposite order. We were not this happy the night before the race :)
Last weekend we met some friends from high school in Nashville for my (and Nathan's) first 1/2 marathon. 31,000 racers!!! It was insane.
We were all very nervous and anxious. I had no idea what to expect- I knew that our training runs - especially the longest one of 10 miles really sucked- so I was just praying the crowd and people would help me get through 13.1 miles. And they did!
I really had a great race. My feet were my biggest complaint and they felt like I ran 13 miles without shoes. On the contrary, Heather really had a hard race. She didn't feel good from about mile 2 or 3 on. We pulled each other through- like we always do. It's so great to have such a wonderful running partner. And I would never be doing this if it weren't for her. We make each other get up at 5am twice a week and we don't let each other miss a weekend run.
We had a fantastic weekend and laughed most of it. I haven't seen the girls in 8 or so years and it was like no time had passed.
More pictures to come. I didn't have my camera after the race. Although I'm not sure I want to post those pictures!!
Our times: Heather & I 2h 33 min (our goal was 2h 30min)
Nathan 1h 57min!!!
Celebrating our run. With Mexican food.
The runners. Still a little nervous.
In the car at 5am. Stuck in major traffic. Ended up having to take a detour because we had already missed the shuttle. Luckily, we made it on time.
