CHECK!!
Brent and I ran the 25K Endurathon Relay this last weekend in Bulverde, TX(you say it bull-ver-dee). It was great! It was fun! And it's DONE!
My original plan was to run a half marathon in Austin, TX. But the way things turned out with scheduling, and the kids, and everything we turned to this race and I'm glad we did.
My portion was 7.5 miles, a lot of flat land with some rolling hills. I finished in 1:07 which was an average 9:17 min mile. Not fast by any means. But that wasn't really my goal.
Brent's portion was 8 miles, and it was ALL rolling hills. You know the stories our parents and our grandparents told us about having to go to school waist deep in snow UP HILL BOTH WAYS! I kinda believe them now...Brent's portion was literally up hill the entire distance! He finished in 1:10 which was totally awesome.
The teams were in categories such as: men's team, women's team, and mixed team. We came in 6th out of about 13 mixed teams.
My good Sandi Clark and her running partner, John killed the course. They came in 2nd of the mixed relay teams.
I'll never lose my "valley girl" pose. Thanks to Debbie. :) You can take the valley girl away from her bestie but you can't take the valley girl pose out of the bestie...okay, that didn't really work but whateva!! You da bomb Debbie!!!
Waiting for Brent to come in. Seriously sooooo cold and windy. Not to mention I've been battling BAD BAD BAD allergies and a head cold. I may or may not have peed my pants while running because of coughing so much. BUT I FINISHED!!! And that's whats really important, right!!
Does it really matter how many fingers we're holding up? Ummm, yeah, it actually does! Way to go Sandi and John for placing 2nd. Way to go Brent for being my running partner!!
Well, it was fun. And I actually think I would do another organized run. A half marathon....I don't know. I didn't get the fire like everyone told me I would. But some good 10k runs would be fun.
Now.....what's next on the bucket list.
