*Warning extremely long*
First and foremost
Happy Mother’s Day
to all the mom’s out there!
Especially,
my mom and my mother-in-law!
We are so blessed to have you
both
in our lives.
exactly 7 days ago
Brett & I ran
26.2 miles
{plus bobbing and weaving}
a week later it seems like
a lifetime ago.
I was very nervous
the whole week before.
luckily I had fun things to keep me
entertained.
{more about those later}
everything laid out
in bed by 8:30p.m.
wake up call alarm was set for
3:28a.m.
the alarm went off and my heart
was bounding out of my
chest!
I choked down pb toast.
and we we’re off to the start!
honestly at this point
I was f.r.e.a.k.i.n.g out
but I kept my cool.
I we was going to do it!
26.2 miles
it’s way too early to run
when it’s dark out!
ready or not
about 20 minutes later
we were off.
fast forward
7.5 miles
only 18.7 miles to go…
fast forward
4 hours & 13 minutes
{for brett}
4 hours & 16 minutes
{for me}
and that is when we crossed
the finish line.
one of the best things about the whole thing
was running along side my best friend.
while we didn’t cross the finish line together.
we ran 25 miles together.
and I wouldn’t change the for the world.
another amazing thing:
having my mom
and the brinks
at the finish.
I still have so many
thoughts.
feelings.
and
emotions.
about the marathon.
{I hope to share at sometime!}
but for now
the hubster & I
joined
the.marathon.club.
