Race Day

I finally got to run the race today! I ran the prescribed 10 miles 8 days before the race and I felt great, but today I ran on a trail so I felt completely different. The trail was completely made of mud with some standing water. I felt like I was walking with tennis shoes on solid ice slipping and sliding the whole way. Even though is was really difficult to run, it took my mind off of exhaustion and I just focused on standing up. Williamsburg always provides for rainy days, but I usually run on the road so I was completely caught off guard by the sloughy mud. All in all it was a great race right by a river. I got to run the first 10 miles with my friend Jen, but from mile 2-12 my feet were asleep so I had to slow down and I let her push forward without me. I was very excited to hear the finish line and then was even more happy to see it!

I cannot really feel my legs right now, but I had a great time! I will be training for another race soon!
