Race Prediction

So, predicting my race times prior to a race has started to be a family tradition........Below, are the predicted time from my son, husband, and myself. Andddddddd, the winner is my son!!!!! He guessed 1:48:00 which was the closest without going over....... my official race time turned out to be 1:48:59!!!!!

I was only exactly one minute off from my final time!!! My husband CLEARLY has a WHOLE lot of faith in me....... I am not sure that I will ever be able to see 1:46 on the clock!! LOL! :D

The Expo

Of course, I had to take advantage of the photo op against the race back drop at the expo............

Below is my friend Arlene........ she was brave enough to tackle the hills of Tallahassee with me again this year!!! :)

One cool thing was the "Kid Marathon" that took place the day of the expo...... Arlene and I (without even knowing) ended up with front row seats to watch the Kid marathon from the deck of an Italian restaurant that we ate lunch at.....

Below are two videos of the kid marathon...... I so need to bring my son next year!!! He will have a blast..... the kid marathon is just over a mile.......... Love the one video where you can hear "Eye of the Tiger" playing in the background...... the fraternity house right next to the restaurant was playing music and cheering on the runners!!!

Definitely a "kid friendly" event...... there were bounce houses at the expo.......

Tents at the expo.......

Hills EVERYWHERE

I had to take the picture below..... seriously, Tallahassee is hilly course..... actually, I really think the hills could be classified as MOUNTAINS!!!! I mean, check out this photo.... the hill is so steep that it appears to be a cliff!!!!! :()

This past weekend was AWESOME!!!!! I am still blown away from my PR (personal record)!! I can not believe that I pulled out 1:48:59!! I don't know where the legs that showed up to the starting line came from, but I am sure happy they did!!!!! I have been taking my training really seriously..... trying to adhere to the training plan and not doing what I think is best............
