I did it! I ran a half marathon. It was last Saturday and my legs are still recovering! It felt good, well up until the last few miles. My awesome hubs, our pups and a couple friends came to support me and run the last little bit with me. It was much needed. Even though I was in a crowd of 1500 people running down a mountain it was actually quite peaceful with my ipod in. I was enjoying the scenery and people watching to keep my mind occupied. After it was all finished I assumed I'd have this huge feeling of pride and accomplishment, but it didn't feel like such a big feat once I had done it. I feel like anyone could run that race if they decided to train for a couple months. I'm still really glad I did it and I wouldn't mind doing another one next year. My mom was talking about maybe doing it so I'd love to do it with her and my dad! Anyway, I'm glad its finished and that I enjoyed it.
We played at the downtown church that night and then has Este pizza. I love Este and good friends. Good new friends and good old ones. I'm glad for the diversity of people I get to hang out with. God is up to something in my life and I'm trying to look at life in a new light and start enjoying the small pleasures, like a genuine conversation, or the fact I can walk 10 min from my house and feel like I'm on a farm and stare out past a huge field to see a glorious sunset.
This week I have dates to hang out with two of my closest friends that I rarely get to see. It's worth the 45 min drive to be able to pour your heart out and find out what's been going on in life the past year really. I've never been good at long distance relationships. Even short distance relationships.
