Fast Before the Feast

I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving yesterday!  I had the pleasure of running for a great cause with two of my dearest friends before seeing my extended family for the traditional Turkey Day meal.  Bailey, Katie, and I decided to sign up for this race a couple of months ago and I am so glad that we did, because I don't know what I would've used as motivation to get running in without it.  I am not going to lie, this race wasn't easy.  I did walk up the hill that started mile 5, but I FINISHED THE RACE and to me that was all that mattered. 

Pre-Race

Getting ready!

We freakin' survived, 6.1 miles!

We could represent Brooks running shoes.

Crossing the finish, we sprinted the last .2 of the race and I was dying by the end. 

Thank the lord for Gatorade!

My friend Susan made me this great headband for the race and I LOVED wearing it!  It's very breathable, but keeps the ears warm :)  She sells them for $10 and with a fleece lining for $15.  She also makes hats for $15.  You can choose your color combination for a personalized style!  Send your orders to sejuratovac@csbsju.edu and she will be in contact to get your products made and shipped before Christmas :)

 

I couldn't be more grateful for my amazing friends and family, without them I don't know where I would be!

 

Until tomorrow :)
