Go! St. Louis April 23, 2009

Sooo… My half marathon is over with…

It was very very cool to be a part of. We stayed at the Sheraton the night before so we didn’t have to worry about getting in to the city the morning of the race.  I woke up at 5 am Sunday and popped right out of bed suprisingly and we got all ready to go and headed to the starting line about 6:30. It rained the WHOLE time. it was obvious we were just going to get soaked and everyone was ok with it, the rain helped to keep your body cool, but it did a number on my glasses, i couldnt see much at all the whole time and theres wasn’t a dry article of clothing to wipe the lenses on so I just followed the purple shirts in front of me :)

The side effects… Swollen Ankles, (still today) Blisters (super huge, gross one on my heel) and chafed arms from the wet shirt. But totally worth it!

The Team of 95 raised over $190,000 for cancer research, which is freakin awesome!

I know it’s kind of a boring post, but I haven’t posted in forever.
