I DID IT!!!

I completed my first 1/2 marathon! Boy was it hot!! I actually did better than I thought I would. When I was driving to Disneyland from our hotel the temp on the van was telling me it was already 81 degrees at 4:45a.m. It was humid and hot. We were under a red flag warning which advised anyone prone to heat exhaustion not to run. The next level was a black flag and if we reached that they wouldn't time anyone, it would just turn into a 13 1/2 mile fun run. Fortunately we didn't have to do that. I know of at least 3 people that needed medical help on the route. One was to a young girl, probably high school age. She went down at mile 11. Medical was helping her when I went by. That being said I took my time, poured water on myself at every water stop and made sure I drank and GU'd. Corey brought me cold water at mile 9 and I poured it on myself, that really helped. My time was 2:34:47.

I have my medal!! I'll take a picture of it and when I figure out how to put pictures on my blog I will post it.

Corey you were great suport!! Thanks alot!!! :)
