Virginia Beach

Back in June...not long after I got home from China..I called my friend Becky up to see if she wanted to run the Virginia Beach 1/2 Marathon with me. She was up for it...so we signed up. I figured I needed something to keep me motivated to keep running. What I didn't realize at the time was that my life was about to get sucked away by work.

So - I ran about once a week...sometimes twice. Basically just on the weekends. But I had promised Becky that I would run it no matter what. So I went down to DC, met up with Becky and we roadtripped it down to VA Beach.

Can I make a recommendation? Don't run a 1/2 marathon when you haven't been running! Holy crap it was hard. I felt great until about mile 7...then by Mile 9 I pretty much felt like my legs were going to give out. But I finished it. Becky and I stuck together through the entire thing. We walked a little...but we crossed the finish line in one piece. I was sore for a good few days after the race. :)


It was a fantastic weekend. I had such a good time spending time with Becky! I hadn't seen her since we left Provo after graduating. Funny how she is the one I live the closest to that I went to BYU with...but the one I see the least. Anyway - It was a good time.
