One of my hardest training days of the week! ☺️

My recap from the half-marathon this weekend 🫶🏻☺️ #halfmarathon #runner

What in the world was that!?

We have a winner of my half marathon time guessing giveaway!! 💜🥳 CONGRATS to @fab5runnertri 🥳 She guessed 1:25:36 and I ran a 1:25:35. 😀 Unless I’m missing someone but I will double check. 👀 For all the people whose guesses were in the 1:19s… 24 hours ago I would have said one of yall were going to be correct! (That was the goal 🤡) 😩🫣 As far as my day today… I am not even going to sit here and lie.. I’m pretty disappointed. 🤣🫠😞 That was 5 minutes slower than I had planned. 😭 And 4 minutes slower than my current PB half marathon from 2019. 😵‍💫 I was hoping to AT LEAST do that! But I just felt like a bag of bricks out there. 🫨🧱🧱 I gave it a good effort too - like I made myself WORK! 🫨 I must say I’m very happy with my effort. But not the result. A few things I have to say.. I am NOT good in cold. It was a point to point race - so the last 9 miles were directly into a freezing headwind coming off Lake Champlain. That was a very very ‘Vermont half marathon’ - 😵‍💫 Like kind of what you would expect. I was just so cold. So so cold. 🥴 And nothing was warming me up. 😵‍💫 This was my first local ‘hometown’ race / event I’ve ever been too and it was AMAZING seeing all y’all who ran and recognized me from socials. 😁 If you were one of them, say hi 👋🏼 in the comments. ☺️ I do plan on trying to get a better half marathon time at some point. But no time soon. Because my next big race is less than 2 months away! Which I will continue to train for.. starting tomorrow.. at 8:30 am .. 🫡☺️ also - if you didn’t win the giveaway.. I’m going to do a TON more!! So stay tuned. Cause that was fun. 😁 And very motivating to see how fast or slow people think I am. 👀😲 One of the guesses I saw was 58 minutes. Which is :30 seconds slower than the world record btw. 😹😹❤️❤️❤️ Also let me know if you have any questions - I will make a full video mini vlog tomorrow! ❤️🫡

I have to give a big shoutout to my mom @Noel’s Mom for doing her FIRST half marathon since her total knee replacement!! 😄 She wanted to do it in 3 hours and she did it in 2:47!!!! 🤩 Im so proud of her! 😁
