The Half

13.1 miles

Yesterday was the Marathon in Santa Barbara and me and my mom ran the Half. My time was 2 hours 3 minutes. I ran to the finish lightening speed, my family didn't even see me! :) But, they saw my mom running to the finish. We stayed together the entire time until about 2 miles before the finish there was a good size incline and that is where I lost her. I kept turning around to see where she was, couldn't see her. She said she could see me the whole time. She was only about a minute behind me.

It was SO much fun! All the people that came out to cheer us on, didn't know any of them but I loved giving all the kids high 5's. Well, I did see Blake Webster and the Malloy family and I loved the fact that my family was waiting for me at the finish line. Looked forward to seeing them. Then when I reached the finish line I didn't even see them, there were SO many people everywhere.  SO cool! Thanks for coming my family, for your love and support, love you SO much! xoxo
About 1 mile before the Finish a girl was running in front of me and she peed her pants. It almost got on me cause I was right behind her. Totally just peed! GROSS! All down her legs, into her shoes but she kept running like nothing happened. YUCK! I sped up and passed her, I didn't want to be down wind. :P
This was my first Half, hopefully many more races to come! :)
