Hey Rene!! The race went great!! I probably COULD have pushed myself a little harder, but man oh man, it was one hilly course!! Several people told me afterward that this is one of the hardest half marathons, and that if I can run this, any other half marathon will be easy!! haha. Ignorance is bliss, right? It was a beauty day, super windy, there was a bit of trail running (with beautiful views of the ocean) and I heard your voice as I was running down the hills and not leaning BACK like so many people were doing!! :) Thank you SO much for all of your support, encouragement and awesome training!! I will post pics soon!!! :)

I just thought I'd let you know the run went awesome. I ran straight to about the 19 km mark without stopping, through the trails and the hills (yah!). and then the hip got sore so I walked to the end pretty much. Hard run though. Never seen a road half that was quite that hard before. Anyway, I finished in about 2:12, so that's great if you ask me as I was standing on the start line thinking, hmm, will I even make it to the end? Quite thrilled by everything and can't wait to get back to running. Thank you so much for all your support. I'll be into the gym at some point today, so if it's before 2 I'll come and say hi, otherwise I will be out tomorrow. I can't believe how well it went and I'm not sore at all, so I should be back to normal soon I'm sure.
Thank you again for everything. You have been absolutely wonderful about keeping me going and positive. Looking forward to a summer of fun trail running with everyone!
I'm also really psyched to tell David. I think he will be surprised as well, I know I was. Standing on the start line I was super nervous and thinking I had lost my mind, but the two of you clearly know what you're doing. I can't wait to run tomorrow!
