Why I am a ROCK STAR!

So my neighborhood buddy, Uyen, & I started running together months ago. Maybe October? I am not exactly sure. We typically run 3 days per week, in the mornings (6:30am!), somewhere between 3 and 4 miles. Uyen is such a great running buddy, sets an awesome pace and is very motivating! Late (LATE) December, we decided we'd try and run the 3M Half Marathon. We keep running during the week and tried a couple of longer runs, our longest being 5 miles. We didn't have high expectations going into Sunday's 3M Half Marathon, but we were ambitious! We started running with the 1 hour, 30 minute group (mostly because we had JUST ran out of the hotel bathroom and realized the race had started). It wasn't really our fault. The race was postponed over an hour due to windy conditions creating "holes" in the course. Those speedy ones quickly passed us & we kept our steady pace. By mile 6, we were shocked to still be running. By mile 9 it was official. We KNEW we would finish & run the entire 13.1 miles. We did. It was SO INSPIRING to read messages on others shirts. "I am 50!" "Running in memory of ___" "Blind Runner". It was so awesome to hear people cheering us on... random strangers would call out our numbers or say "You Go Girls!" during our run... such encouragement! I loved it! My official time was 2:47:54. So proud of Uyen! So proud of myself! It was an awesome accomplishment!
