Half Marathon

It all started with an idea that was given to me by my very dedicated, super sporty, awesome, running friends haha. You should run a half marathon with us. My first thought was haaaaaaaaaaaa YEAH RIGHT!!!! are you kidding me! me running? bwaaaahahahahha and then I was like ok let's give it a try. Well I started training and the first mile was a pain, the next 3 miles were still a pain but suddenly I was loving it! I just fell in love with the sport I had hated for so long. Being outside in nature, the different trails, the great company and support from my friends, the new challenges, pushing myself every day. Eventually I ended up with a bruised calcaneus and a trip to the ER cause I was pushing it a liitle too hard so I did have to take 2 weeks off but who careeeeeeeesssssssssss it was worth it!!!! so totally worth it! The day of the race came and I was soooo stoked about it. Loved the environment, loved the people I was running with, it was soooooooo fun. The half was in Lancaster PA (Amish town) it was just sooo beautiful and the weather was perfect! I don't know how many times I heard you got this Sus, you're doing great, almost there, hills are your friend, then the last two miles I just wanted to walk but my friends pushed me and knew I could do it and yep we did it and it was fabulous :) It felt great! Blake started chasing me to the finish line haha it was the best! I for sure couldn't have done it without my running buddies. I'm so greaful for them. Can't wait to do it again!
