I had a crazy busy weekend and I can't believe that it is Monday already! Saturday I worked the expo for the event and it was awesome. Everything there was so nice and the race packet was seriously the cutest once I have ever received. There were 5,000 runners, 70 of which were men. So you can imagine how girly, pink, and fun the expo and race both were! I loved getting a chance to see all my coworkers again, it has been forever since I have worked an event. Getting to meet all different women who are running the same race you are, and sharing their stories is such a rare experiene that I am so grateful to have!
Sunday was race day and I was up bright and early! My parents were my cheerleaders and drove me to the race. The 3 half marathons I had done in the past I was always out of town, so it was a new experience for me knowing I had fans cheering for me on the coarse. Race day was alot hotter than I had anticipated so I made sure to take advantage of all the water stations. The coarse was so beautiful, all along the water front of downtown St. Petersburg. We even were able to run a lap around Tropicana Field where the Tampa Bay Rays play! I ran 1:57. Not exactly my PR but I was happy to break 2 hours. Also the medals were so cool. The center was a detachable charm that you can put on a nacklace or bracelet, or you could leave it as it. I haven't decided what I am going to do with mine yet!
I am not going to lie, my favorite part of race day was going to see New Moon later that afternoon with two of my girlfriends. Something about those adolescent werewolves and vampires can even get this runner girl's heart racing!
