In the middle of marathon training, I decided I would run a half marathon. I needed to redeem myself for Country Music Half, where I almost passed out. I chose to run the Women's Half Marathon in Nashville because it was a close race. Also, Stephanie was training to run it as her first half & I wanted to be there for support.
It was a really great race! I felt super prepared & I had a PR of over 4 minutes from the Knox half!!!!! The race was extremely hilly (which I am used to), so I was super pumped with my time. I had to run 1 mile before & 1 mile after the race to get in 15 for the day which was my scheduled training run. Marathon training is not a joke, y'all.
The next weekend, I had a 16 mile run. I can't listen to music while I run esp during a race, so I listened to 4 or 5 books during training. I listened to about 3 songs during the marathon & had to turn it off. I can't focus on running with the music.
Enjoyed a lovely dinner at Lakeside with my friends- not sure where the group picture is :(
Enjoyed a lovely lunch with my family in Cookeville
