Well, y'all, I went to Nashville on Friday to run in my first Country Music 1/2 Marathon. I was excited because I thought I could PR. Anyway, long story short - that didn't happen. It was much hotter than I am used to it being while I am running & I guess I didn't eat enough before the race, but I ended up almost passing out & had to take a little break & compose myself. It was pretty early in the race & I didn't think I was going to be able to finish, but I did. I ended up having to walk a lot, but taking off my small break, I only finished about 20 minutes slower than my last half. After I got over my disappoint, I was happy I finished.
Overall, it was a wonderful race & I would love to do it again. I could definitely PR. The course was a lot easier than Knoxville. There were 2 big hills & lots of little rolling hills, but overall a much easier course. I was in a corral in the middle & I didn't end up starting until around 740. Never again. I will definitely be putting a faster finish time in the future, so I don't have to stand around for that long.
Over it.
Just carrying my things...

Sign that my mom & her friends made for me!
She was along the course- I didn't think I was even going to make it to her, but I did.
Thanks again to everyone who came & cheered me on :) I needed it this time
