Race: RED HOT PINK CHICKS HALF MARATHON (13.1 Miles) 02:05:28

Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
13.10	0.00	13.10

I DID IT! No longer a 13.1 virgin and so happy. I'll post more later but we've got a busy day- birthday parties, baptism, and showers. :)

Avg. Pace 9:50 and I'm okay with that for sure! This is the longest I have ever ran in my ENTIRE LIFE! Ever. And also it was more of a training run for me for Hobble Creek.

So it wasn't quite 13.1, but close enough. I walked around a lot after, so I'm counting it. I think I took the wrong loop at the end and that's what cut it short. Just following the leader ha ha.

This was really fun, thank you to all of you who put this together! I loved the shirt, the treats after were fantastic and the company was the best. It was so fun to meet all you people that seriously keep me going everyday!

I was feeling pretty good until about mile 10 and then it got a little rough but I was scared that if I started walking I wouldn't be able to start running again. :) I tried about 1/4 a thing of gu at mile 6 and it kind of made me sick so I decided not to take anymore. I should have probably taken some at mile 9 but oh well. I finished! My lower back is EXTREMELY sore and my knees feel like I have arthritis (what I imagine arthritis feels like) but I loved it.

RED HOT PINK CHICKS ROCK!

Congratulations and great time for your first one. You'll definitely go under 2:00:00 at Hobble Creek.

Good job girly, I am so glad you came and ran. I wish I could have talked with you more and it didn't click in until later who you actually where. Any ways great job!!

Parties, showers, virginity, baptism? What kind of crazy cult are you in?

Good job on the HM. Can't wait for the real report.

Great job finishing your first half. It was a fun day and the cloud cover sure helped.

I had no idea this was your first! I guess I should pay more attention to the 'running accomplishments/goals' on people's blogs :) You did AWESOME today, those first uphill miles weren't easy and you ROCKED it! You'll speed through Hobblecreek AND TOU!!

From Leandra on Sat, Jul 11, 2009 at 18:50:46 from 76.27.81.221

Thanks everyone! I had no idea I would have so much fun with this today! Well fun in a crazy wierd sense. I think we're all crazy but it was really fun and feels good! I hope this is an annual thing! I'll be in every year!

Luzy- I would love any pictures you have! And if anyone else has any pictures I would love to see any of them. leandracall@hotmail.com
