Half Marathon #1.
I was dead last.
Half Marathon #2
I was dead last.
Half Marathon #3
There were over 1,000 people behind me.
The secret?
Run in really big races!!!!
I have the signup date for the next one on my calendar. It is a smallish race, so I might be last, but in all honesty, I like to do interesting races. If that makes sense.
I have done a race across the Mackinac Bridge, I did one on Woodward Avenue, a Turkey Trot, one where you got a cinnamon roll at the end, the Detroit half you run over the bridge into Canada and through the tunnel back to the USA.
My hubby is always interested in what the Charity organizations are that benefit from the races. One of the few repeats I do is one that raises money for suicide prevention (http://www.momrace.org/). When I ran the Detroit Half I raised money for Samaritas (https://www.samaritas.org/).
This next half I am hoping to get a spot in is back in the area I grew up. I am hoping to be there so my family can see me finish–though I am also slow so I hate to have them waiting for three hours, but we’ll see what happens.
Well, it is time for me to stop telling you about running and get out there to, well, run!!
Survive til you Thrive!
