On Saturday morning, John completed his first half-marathon. Yep, John Seable did a 13.1 mile footrace, and he finished it in 3:06. He has been training like a champion: up every morning (but Saturday and Sunday) at 4:45, to the Rec Center by 5:00 and working out until 6:45.
One of the funnest parts of the day was running out to meet him so that we could cross the finish line together. I've always hoped he'd grow to love running as much as I do, and we'd one day run together. Today was a great memory for me!
#9 Finisher Overall / #1 Female Overall |
I was thrilled to cross the finish line, too. And what was better, I did it in 1:46:04, a PR by like nearly 5 minutes. That time was good enough to earn FIRST PLACE for the Women Overall. Can you believe it? It'll likely never happen again, but I sure got a "runner's high" from that finish.
