First half marathon! It was a humid one!! I met my friend Mandy there and was so excited to just RUN. Flat flat flat and hot hot hot! The route started in Fontainebleau Park, then 190, then towards the lakefront. We went down streets on the lakefront i had never been down...I loved all the fans and cheerleaders yelling my name! I was really doing well until mile 7. I think I was overheated and had to slow down. I finished in 2.43. I was fine with that because honestly it was so humid and I wasn't sure if I'd make it.
A great sense of accomplishment! I have to say I almost teared up at end. I was surprised to see my friend Laura with my family jumping up and down with a poster in hand. I'd never ask anyone to come watch and wait for me running....I think especially with the heat how hard it would be! I even asked my husband not to come so early with the kids. But they were all there. That meant the world to me. I'll never forget that.
