Pouring Rain!!! I actually really enjoyed the rain. Besides the fact that my fingers were so frozen I could not get to my energy snack I brought (sweedish fish) I really thought the rain was kind of fun! I ran really well until about mile 21, my knee gave out on me and I almost fell over. After the one time of almost callapsing it didn't happen again.
I was really happy with the over all outcome and I felt mentally strong. I crossed the finish line thinking "is it really over all ready". I would have loved to qualify for Boston (3:40 for my age and gender), but I PR'd by 28 min. I would have to be crazy to be dissapointed.
I relied so much on prayer through out training and through out the race. I know heavenly father was with me and I am so grateful he is mindful of my desires.
What a blessing it is to have health!!!!!!! |
