This is really long, sorry. Where to start? Ran my first 30k (19 miles) last night with some amazing people. I ran in brand new shoes..not a good idea by the way, in the pouring rain, on some pretty gnarly trails and slippery granite. I didnt fall once! I wanted to quit after the first loop. I ate some chips (for salt) went to the bathroom, called home and went back to starting point where my new BFF, CCiscowas waiting for me. We finished together through cramps and knee problems. We laughed, disagreed about being lost and saw a Spartan wall in the middle of nowhere. The rain was a blessing and a curse. We stretched our muscles, he showed me the technique to climb a rope and picked stickers off our socks. I was nauseous but knew we had to finish. What an amazing experience. I really want to give a shout out to a few people that were not there in person but in my heart THE ENTIRE time I was out there. My husband, NNeilwho saw first hand my craziness before a race and checking in on me throughout the night. SSusanand TTinafor their constant love and support!! And of course my son, SSteven my IRUN4 buddy, Max and Mitchell. Long speech...you would have thought I won an award! ;)
