It happened folks! I PR'd on my half marathon this morning! For those non-runner friends of mine reading this blog entry, PR means Personal Record! I ran the Tucson Half Marathon in 1:53:40...aka about an 8:40 pace. No listen, it's nothing to write to the Olypmic commitee about but it's enough to put a big ol' smile on my face! Just when I was getting so down on myself about my running lately, this run truly "pumped" me with confidence that yes, maybe I can get better (even if it's little by little). Although the problems I've been having with my piriformis (glute area) continued pretty strongly, I felt too good to let that stop me on the run. Thanks to all those wonderful friends of mine with the good luck wishes! Annnnnd...as much as I appreciate those wishes, no one deserves as many thanks as my amazing husband for ALL that he did to support me through this race. From the driving down to Tucson, taking time out of his schedule and most of all....waking up at 4:50 AM!!!!....to drive me to the start! I love you C.Cat! Thank you soo much, love!
Keep your fingers crossed that this leg pain fades away enough for me to be able to run the P.F. Chang's Marathon a little over a month away....!! Criss cross!
