I don't know why I thought it was a great idea to kick off my birthday weekend by completing a half marathon in the middle of July, in the heat, but I did. I did it yesterday, and it was extremely hot and very, very hard. I guess because I thought this time around I was 35 lbs. lighter, and I had actually trained this time, it would be better, but it wasn't. It was sooo hot and I lost motivation by mile 8. At mile 10, this guy in front of me sat down and waved at the paramedic on standby to take him to the finish line, saying he was DONE. I was soooo tempted to hitch a ride, I was in pain, I was tired and I was drained. But I finished. I am able to walk around better today with much less soreness. Hopefully by tomorrow, I should feel 100%. I have decided to only stick to 5k/10ks. No more half marathons. On the upside, my boy won 1st place in his age group. :)

Thank you everyone! One of the last things the MC said before the race started was, "Remember everyone to finish what you started! " I just kept replaying that in my head over and over. Kind of been my mantra for the year so far with my health journey.

Congratulations on completing the half marathon! I used to run, but no way could I do it in hot weather (not even so much in warm weather)
