Hello Traxee's, so early this morning, set in beautiful Myrtle Beach, I ran AND completed my FIRST 1/2 marathon!!!! The feeling i felt while i was running was just exhuberating!!!! The weather was PERFECT running weather, around 60degrees. Just before the race we had a show put on by the Medievil Times, the National Anthem was sang,we lined up behind the pace markers and then.....the horn sounded and we were off!!!!! I tried to not look at my garmin too much during the race, i looked at it MAYBE 5 times during the whole race. I had lined up behind the 9:01 to 10min pace.....well, needless to say I ran faster than that. I averaged between 8:30-9:00!!!! I was totally surprised at myself, I guess running with a large group of people really helped. As the raced was nearing an end, we were running on the board walk, with a beautiful view of the ocean. In my head I was like"where is the finish line, i know i saw it on the boardwalk yesterday?" then after i thought that, bam...i saw the flags of the finishline...so i sped up my pace.My husband,son tony and baby girl alannah were near the finishline taking pictures, I smiled and waved and finished my sprint to the finish. My goal in the beginning was to finish in 2hours.....i finished at 1:57:56!!!!!! My first 1/2 marathon!!!!!!!!
