My sport is your sport's punishment
That's the slogan on the shirt that I wore in the race, and that's exactly what it felt like--punishment. I don't know if it was the lingering chest cold that I have, the fact that the course seemed to be all hills, or if it was just one of those days, but the half-marathon was one rough ride. By the time I made it to the three mile mark, I knew I was in trouble. I still had miles numbering in double digits left to run!
I hit a wall somewhere around the fifth mile which lasted until about the eighth mile. After the eighth mile I somehow kicked it in a little better and managed to complete the rest with less difficulty. I was able to finish the race in about 2 hours and 12 minutes, which isn't too bad.
Some highlights of the race:

Some highlights of the race:
- the two dudes who dressed up as Jamaican bobsledders (being a Halloween-ish race, costumes were encouraged) and ran together inside a cardboard bobsled--how in the world did they keep the exact same pace as each other, or more importantly, how did they run 13.1 miles without using their arms???
- the lady dressed up as Cruella De'Ville with her pack of dalmatians
- getting finished with mile eight
- seeing Aaron twice during the race with Caeden (a little monkey) and Avery (a little bee)
- running side-by-side with Sarah for a while
- all five of us who'd been training with each other finishing the race
- my dad at the finish line, cheering me on (Aaron tried to make it, but the racing gods were against him as he saw me at mile 12 & then couldn't quite get to the end in time)
- the sweet sip of Gatorade at about mile eight
- getting a massage afterwards!
