I just read my last post and it was from before doing the Susan Komen! I thought I better update because someone might think I went and died that day doing the race! Let me tell you, that day was more painful than I could have imagined. If I knew if was going to be like that, I would not have done it. Not long into the race my lower legs and my feet went numb, so it was like carrying dead weight around the rest of the way. There was only one water station, which was horrible, I could have used many more. But, of course, the day was a success - I finished, second to last (but not last!) and cried. I was so overcome with the realization that we really can do anything. Our bodies are more resilient than we give them credit for. I am incredibly glad I participated in that.
This first pic is us getting ready for the race to start.
My Weight Watchers leader came back up the hill for me and her daughter. It was nice to see her coming back up to greet us and then encouraging us to the finish!
I think next time, I want to actually train for the race though :)More of an update later... probably lol
