Urban Bourbon Half recap

Saturday I ran the Urban Bourbon half marathon, my 2nd time running this race.
It was weird sleeping in my own bed the night before a race! Seems like lately all of my races have been out of town.

Jeremy wanted to come with me which was a nice surprise. Due to schedules, or me racing out of town, he's rarely at my races, so this was really nice.

The race got started at 8:30, with a chance of rain. Thankfully, it only sprinkled a couple times. I've ran in so many downpours lately, it wouldn't have phased me though.

We ran through Cherokee Park, which is really hilly, but so beautiful this time of year. As I was walking up these huge hills (I tried running, I really did), I looked around and saw only 1 person running. Out of all the runners around me, only one running. Someday I will conquer hills, and I will be that one running!

I saw Jeremy at mile 11, which I wasn't expecting either! Not sure why seeing him made me cry. But it was a good cry. ☺

I finished in the exact same time (within a few seconds) as my half 2 weeks ago.
My time was 2:43. I desperately miss the days when my half's were around 2:25-30. I'll get back there though, and even better!

My first words to Jeremy, when I crossed the finish line were "I'm switching my marathon (on the 7th) to a half."
I'm not going to, but I'm struggling y'all, I'm really struggling.

Half #18 is done, and I loved it!!
