Before the Race:
We went to pick up our race packets on Saturday morning. Having that bib in hand does wonders….
The rest of the day consisted of Shopping, Penn-State Football watching,
um…more shopping!, and some tasty Food!
We laid out our (matching) race outfits;
I nixed the short-sleeve shirt for a tank-top.
High of 76? That’s gonna be warm….
Even the Big Bro headed out; the three of us look so Glam in the morning.
Anxious – Excited – a little Cold – Ready to RUN
Tired – Happy – Successful half-marathoners!
This was our post-run treat to ourselves!
My parents and Jason had to head back home (3 hr drive) –
so, Lauren and I fed the craving! Dessert? YES PLEASE.
Gets that New-Mexico food spice out of your mouth quickly….YUM.
**********
While this wasn’t my fastest or best 13.1 miles, it goes right into the top 5
because of the company and the experience of running with my Sister!
I finished….and then I finished again, with her.
SO WORTH IT.
Race report…comin’ soon!
