I feel like its been awhile since our weekly check in!
How is everyone doing?
I'm really finding it challenging getting in my runs with the early sunsets! I wish I could run more on the weekends but my joints really aren't happy if I run 2 days in a row!
I got in a couple Zumba classes last week and a couple runs. I can get in 1 earlier run during the week although sunset is creeping earlier so it was almost dark when I went. But I had a pretty great run. But Saturday morning I ran and really struggled! I don't get how some days are great and some are torturous!! I think at least for this run it was the morning aspect that did me in. I am much better running later!

Re: Fitness post
My half marathon was on Saturday. It started out awesome, and I loved it...until I completely fell apart at mile 10. I'm not really sure what happened, if it was first time nerves or I wasn't hydrated enough or what, I just know I hit a wall and couldn't recover. Those last 3 miles were a total b!tch! I really didn't think I was going to make it at times, but when I finally saw the end, I crossed that finish line like nobody's business!! Seeing the boys, DH, and my parents at the end was really emotional.
I do feel a little betrayed by my legs, because I know I could have done better. I said my only goal was to finish, which was a total lie, because I really wanted to finish around 2:30. My final time was 2:51, so not only did I totally miss my goal, I had my slowest pace ever...but I ran a freaking half marathon! I am so happy to have done something that if you told me even 6 months ago that I would do, I would have said no possible way. It was a great experience and I am looking forward to doing it again!
Thanks to everyone for all of the fitness posts to keep me accountable and motivated!!
