I worked all night at work Friday...and I was so stinking tired the race started at 8:30 I got off at 7:30...so I drank a five hour energy, redline, and some NASTY NASTY power gel stuff....it was like those little strawberry candies you know the ones wrapped like a strawberry with..the nasty goo inside...it was like that...except in coupius amounts...I took that goo like a shot....driving down the road to the race trying to hold my eyes open. I got there and met up with my awesome running partner and we got ready to go:)
It was kind of nerve racking sitting in line and waiting for them to tell us to start..finally the buzzer went off and it was time to go.. I started slow because was not sure how fast I needed to go..about halfway through I kicked it up a notch and started passing people...it was a really cool feeling. I felt confident..
Everytime I would start to hurt I just looked at someone's back and made them a target and zoomed past them:) It became like a game...that was much better than my original idea..which was to bring my mace and just spray it in the air and than in the face of anyone who tried to pass me...but Becky thought that I might get arrested if I did that...so I gave the mace to a friends mom:)
Anyway it was over before I knew it...as soon as I visualized the finish line I started Sprinting:) People where cheering us on as we crossed and it was such a cool feeling! I can't wait for my next one!
So now I am setting my sights on my half-marathon...and next week I am also starting to train for a triathalon! I want to do one before the end of 2011! I am excited! This is the first thing I have ever stuck with and I am so proud of me and my running partner:) anyway that is all for now:) Next week I will start blogging about swimming and biking (I have to wait to get my bike first:) its part of my christmas gift...those bikes are over $1500.00 SO I gotta save for that part:)
Till Next time
Peace out little Debbies:)
