Oh my long lost love of a blog how Ive missed you!
So long , but that is always the case with my blogs. Months since my last post and I dont know where to begin.
Im sitting here at nearly 11pm on a Monday night. Exhausted... in pain.... starving , but Im always starving. Ive spent most of the day in bed , not wanting to move and hoping the kids would nap all day. A half marathon will do that to you , I dont even want to imagine what a full marthon will do.
There is one thing that happened yesterday as I was running... first off once the pain started kicking in I was getting extremely emotional. I missed the kids so much. I kept magically hoping that my mom would be on the side of the road with the kids , I would pull my butt over and give them big hugs. I saw a couple of women stop and give the hubby and kids a kiss. Mark was with me though and that made me so happy. I really was thrilled to have him there with me to run my first half marathon.
Another thing... all the Team in Training women .... well reading who they were running for on the back of their shirts , well it was depressing. It really made me come to realize all the the men and women out there that are battling cancer. I took it the the heart , and teared up . Also I got a big bang to the heart when I was running behind a group of sisters that were running in memory of their dad. I shed a tear , and really wanted to say " I love you too Dad!" . Even though I was only beside , behind and in front of these supporters I felt as though I was with them, because I was being emotional and also because I felt as though I was being sucked into the purple... it was ALOT OF PURPLE.
Well thats my tid bit on that. Other things I thought of were ; having to pee, pain in groin , pain in calf , having to pee again, poundage on the knees , where the heck are the bathrooms! , give me that gatorade, where are the gu's!? , this hill is forever long , to bad I cant see the bridge, I can so make this without stopping , thank God Mark is here , this is alot of purple , tons of Canadians, I love this pace , this person is to slow, didnt I pass her at mile 5?, I miss chloe & Mark , I wonder what the kids are doing , I think its cold outside because I can see my breathe but Im pretty warm , love this song , again Im loving this pace, I dont think Mark believes me about the pain , how do people push through 26 miles?, I love this race , really great route , wish I could run this everyday ..... well it goes on and on. For almost 3 hours of running you can think about alot
