Post race with my new medal...gorgeous day...shorts weather with temps in the 40's...and NO RAIN OR SNOW...just a perfect day for a run....and I enjoyed every minute of it!
Me with my medal again...so proud...amazing how great it feels when you finish...such a sense of accomplishment...I am sure my eyes will be filled with tears post Boston!!!
My parents are AMAZING!!! they surprised me on the course to cheer me on...gave me a huge boost and the support I needed to push through....They have always been my biggest fans and they proved it again today...I love you guys!!! So I apologize...it's been quite some time since my last post..actually it was following the fundraising party, so I guess a month ago...yikes time flies by!!! No excuses...but we had some Internet issues at the house and time got away from me!
But I am back, and excited to share the next 2 months with you all...actually less than 2 months till marathon Monday...crazy! I did have a rough February...much less running with a crazy work month and a few weeks of bad health...but I battled back the last week or so, and stepped it up today with a PR in the half...so now its go time for March...tons of miles ahead of me, and then I will taper down come April till the BIG DAY!!!
Resting tonight with my feet up on the couch...some cross training tomorrow...and then back it Tuesday with a 5 mile run...check back later in the week for a fresh update...promise!!!

Keep up the great work Kel! You are awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading the rest of your training away. Your journey is so inspirational!
I'm doing a 5 K next weekend, but just the race-walk version. When I start whining about it I need to remember that it is nothing compared to your half let alone to the whole marathon.
