Marathon weekend.....where do I begin. I just have time to give the quick update. The final event for me this season was the Phoenix Marathon this past Sunday. The weight of so many things encompassed it. At times I felt very overwhelmed but I knew that if I focused properly that I could us it to run a great race.
I had a great time getting to know everyone on the team better, many of them I had never meet for one reason or another. All in all I was very impressed with everyone on the team and very proud that everyone was a finisher. A Hero! A difference maker! I am so proud to be a part of that group!
Our chapter raised close to $100 thousand dollars for cancer research and support. All chapters in total at the race (2000 + racers) raised 3.6 million dollars over the season and that weekend! That is worth running for, training for, fund raising for. We are making a difference. Get excited, Get involved! http://www.teamintraining.org/
I may have run the race of my life because of the things and people that inspired me to run. I promise to share the details of my race because honestly, there was more to it than just my legs moving. My finish time was 3:08:38. That put me 205th overall out of 6489 finishers. 162 out of males and 30th in the age class 30-35. My pace was 7min 12 second miles on average. And I honestly have goosebumps thinking about the amaizing experience it was.
I can honestly say it was the most physically and mentally demanding thing I have ever done, and if anything was different that day the results would have been very different.
I am so proud to have honored Adam, McKenna and Dan in this race.
I can honestly say "I gave it my all" to everyone who supported me with your generous gifts and thought, letters and prayers. THANK YOU for getting me there!
I will share pictures and the amaizing thought and details soon!
