THE RUN

Ok so yesterday i completed my first half marathon. This was not easy! the run was in St. goerge so me, Rach, Sarah and nayumi stayed with my cousin Dayna. we had to be at the high school at 7 to load on the buses. that night the last time i looked at the clock it was three thirty. i could not fall to sleep for the life of me! but when six o'clock rolled around i still got up excited and nervous. when we finally got loaded on the buses and headed to the top of snow canyon the ride toke forever and i thought the run would kill me i was so tired! but as we got ready to start the adrenalin kicked in and didn't kick out till about mill 8. at mile three i was going nuts and going way faster then i should of, probably thanks to two red bulls and a shot block. mile 7 i asked someone how long it had been which was 50 min. then i hit the wall! mile 8 my legs started to burn. mile 10 my legs were so sore it was hard to keep them moving. i went from a seven min pace to like a eleven min pace. mile 11 i was ready to start walking but i knew i would be outraged with myself so i kept that slow jog going. mile 12 my feet were about to fall off, then i seen the high school! everything went numb and i picked up the pace and finished the 13.1 miles in one hour forty seven min. It is amazing what we can do with will power. i thought about quiting a lot but i never wanted to! I can't wait to start training for the next one!
