Race day-30 August

We finally made it to race day.  I ran my 1/2 marathon and Gregg and Meaghan ran their 1.5 mile race.  Gregg did awesome running it in just under 14 minutes.  Meaghan and I have had better days, but are glad we trained and reached our goal of completing the race.  Honestly, I have never been so tired in my life as when I crossed the finish line-even when I ran a full marathon I wasn't as tired as this race.  Either I am getting old, or it just wasn't a good running day.  Since I won't admit to the first part of that, I am going to assume it just wasn't a good running day.  I finished the race in 2:06, but was hoping for under 2 hours.  Maybe next time.  Meaghan and I have decided to run some 5K's together next summer.  I am actually quite afraid it won't take long before her long stride can beat mine.  It will be something to look forward to.
