Last weekend I ran the six tunnels half marathon. I was really looking forward to it after I had to drop out of the half marathon I had signed up and trained for in
January. It was a St.
Patricks Day race (hence the green and bag pipes). I had a certain time I was aiming for and well.....it didn't happen. It was harder than I anticipated. I finished in 2:07 (9:45 pace). It's not what I wanted but I can live with it. The thing that disappointed me the most was I freaking walked most of mile 11 and 12. The only reason I ran the last 1.1 mile was because I didn't want to cross the finish line walking. I have a whole list of reasons and excuses of why that happened but they are just to make me feel better so I will keep them to myself. I can not stand the fact that I walked and at the time I knew I would regret it but after a steep hill at mile 10 I hit the wall big time.
Anyhoo, it shook my confidence a bit but I am still signing up for another half. Hopefully it goes better.... as in, I better not walk.
Before the race. You can tell because I am smiling
Only in Vegas would people dress up and run in that getup. And it was HOT that day!
The race started with some bag pipe music. It was....interesting.

good job!
What cute pics! Even if you did walk a little bit it is still pretty amazing. And I'm all for the leashes. I haven't tried one yet but I'm thinking of inventing one where my girls are tied to each other.
You did great Emily! I walked some on my half marathon and even though I was satisfied with my time, I hated that I walked even a step. I look forward to doing another one, too, so I can have a better race altogether. But, I did hear that the course was soooo hard so you should be really proud of yourself anyway.
Love the green shirt! I'm glad you were able to do one and even happier that I didn't end up doing it! Love ya!!!
Holy Crap!! good for you! I bet it was so hot~ you have will power woman :)
