Better than I expected

The Evansville Half Marathon has a special place in my heart.  With our busy schedule, I wasn’t really sure I would be able to do it this year.  I half-heartedly trained, signed up later than usual and showed up not knowing exactly how I would do.

I met up with these lovely ladies at the start.  Amy, on the left, has run a bunch of halves but Barbara, in the middle, was doing her inaugural half marathon to celebrate her 50th birthday which falls in a few days.  I was so happy to wish them well at the beginning of the race. 

I lined up with Kristen, another friend, at the start and then split off and ran my own race.  I occasionally saw into others I knew and even got to take advantage of another friend’s cheering squad.  My pace was just a bit faster than hers so her fans saw me and knew she was coming soon.

I crossed the finish line with pep in my step.  It was a great race!

I got a medal to prove it!
