After all of my recruiting efforts, Heather is the only person I got to run with me. Thanks Heather, You're the Best!
We found out early in the week that a big storm was blowing in on Friday. Apparently the luck of the Irish was not with us. Friday we got 5 to 8 inches of snow. We decided that we would get up Saturday morning and drive to Highlands Ranch (about 20 minutes away), we would at least pick up our t-shirts and decide from there if we would run or not. It was about 17 degrees and super icy and slushy. It was not looking good, but we figured we would give it a shot anyway. We got our shirts, and then it happened. The sun came out!
The only positive thing I have to say about the race is that I finished it and almost in the time that I had set as my goal. My goal was 45 minutes, and my time was 45 minutes 27 seconds. Other than that the experience pretty much sucked. The coarse was slick, my legs cramped, I had a hard time breathing and Heather had to drag me part of the way. The only thing that made it worth it, besides the since of accomplishment, was the pedicures afterwards.
Will I do it again?
Probably, cuz I'm crazy like that.
