Yeah I made it!!!! It is something I can now cross of my list of things to do. I really wanted to finish under 2 hours but oh well. The wind was yucky and my hate for hills really showed because on the hills I just crawled up them. Overall I felt really good throughout the whole thing. My ipod died at mile 3 so I had nothing to entertain me except for my silly thoughts. I get the rest of the day off to recover now. I saw some of the runners from the group Jody runs with out there. Only for about a second until they were way far gone ahead of me. But it was great to get out and do it!

WAY TO GO PAULA!!!! Minus the wind, you would have had your under 2 for sure! It was crazy today. And those 3 hills are big ones, especially the S curve, UGHH!!!!

So, was your hair in a long braid?
