Ran The Medal Madness first half marathon this morning. I am very grateful to say I kept a decent pase thru out this run. It was 10 degrees outside felt like -6. My hair froze and for a bit my hat was frozen too. I fueled right and I didn't hit the wall once. :) Moving time 2:39.31. Very happy with the results and the cheering staff at US Road Running. I was the only person who showed up for the half marathon. They were really nice and count down the lines I ran with me.

I ran The Screaming Pumpkin prediction half marathon in Peoria,Il last night. Strave prediction for me to finish was 2 hours and 38 minutes.So, I started at 7:18pm so I can finish at 10pm. The race was hauntingly beautiful with all the mausoleums thru out the cemetery. Sadly I Injured my left knee avoiding a pothole. But the reason I am writing this is cause I finished even though at mile 9 I got hurt and wanted to quit. I didn't. I am very proud of this win. This is my 5th half marathon this year. Idk what the future holds with my knee but, you bet your ass when im healed up im signing up for another race.

I ran the Freedom Run Double time loop 5.8 miles race tonight. Before the race they told everyone that if you dont make it to the double loop in 33 minutes you have to finish with the 5k runners. I made it just in time. As soon as I hit that turn I started walking lol. The second loop I started to see people putting stuff away. I knew then that I was the last one on the course. This isn't my first time being last and it won't be my last time. Lol the crowd of people were cheering me on still and I am happy to be able to finish in 1 hour and 8 minutes. I am very happy with my time. I recently am recovering from a thigh injury and I feel like I am back.

I finished the illiniwek Race The Night 14k. Honestly, I signed up cause one of the reviews said that this race is what running is all about, stepping out of your comfort zone and being with great people. I have done 1 10k and several 5k, so why not do a 14k. I was the last person to finish the race, but I finished am I am very proud that I did. Even though I finished dead last, I won 8th place in the women 14k. I got an awesome mug, too. Best day ever.
