KC Half

Thanks for all the comments last week!

Today was the Kansas City Marathon! I ran the half marathon. When we woke up around 5:30 AM, it was 43 and raining. :( Lukily by the time the race started it had warmed up to a balmy 45 degrees and stopped raining just in time. My goal time was 2 hours 5 minutes, but I thought with the hilly course I might end up more like 2:10. Well, the run went great and I finished with a time of 2:01:49! I was very happy with my time and appreciated all of my supporters along the way.

My friend Lauren also had a fabulous run and finished around 1:50. Congrats to her! We both are going to be running the Pilgrim Pacer half on November 14th and I am hoping for 2 hours or just under! I never thought I would have done so great and know I can do it again! Congratulations also to Staci and Jill who both finished the half as well!

After the race, Lauren and I cheered on some marathoners and then got breakfast with Travis at the City Diner. Overall, it was a fabulous race and a great weekend!
