I got up early and got dressed in the dark so as to hopefully not wake up the whole house. This time it worked (YAY!!!). I ate a banana as I drove to Clinton Lake for the race and dearly wished I had coffee. It was a fairly chilly morning, so I was super excited to see the hot chocolate & COFFEE in the shelter & the bon-fire just behind the start/finish line. Coffee is fabulous.
As per usual I met Kris at the start line and we started chatting. We were both feeling pretty good considering we'd done a half marathon the weekend before. We were excited to do our first trail race but mostly we were just excited to be out there running again. We tossed our extra stuff on one of the shelter tables and lined up for the start at the back of the pack.
I don't remember much of the race its self since it was months ago now. I hate that I've forgotten it and that I didn't get the report written up before all the details vanished. All I remember now is the amazing feeling of not giving up. The half marathon was my goal race for the year. It was over, it was history and yet I was still out there running. I didn't stop after hitting my goal. Hooray for finding my brave.
If you want a fun race with great runners and fabulous volunteers for a good cause Run Sander's Saunter. I'll see you there in 2013...maybe I'll get the RR up before I forget it all next year.
