Marathon or Half???? "What the Flood" =)


April 24th 2010 was set to be my Full Marathon for the state of Tennessee. I am set on only doing one per state and never doubling but 50 states will take a while. This weekend just had to end up as one of the worst Nashville floods that's ever happened. I ran the course with Tim Cook (Granddaddy long legs) he's over a foot taller than me so me and my little legs have to work to keep up! He's the greatest running buddy you could ever ask for! At around mile 11 or 12 they let us know that we were required to finish the half instead of the full for safety reasons... oh come on it's just hard rain.... lightning...and a little hail.... =D We headed on to finish 13.1 miles but that was a little dissapointing. What was AWESOME was my rockin' mom busting her tail and running in this psycho weather like a freakin' champ! She completed her 2nd half marathon that day and it was all heart and soul. HORRIFIC hills!!!! Horrible weather but amongst it all we had a great trip and that's really what it's all about anyways. We did lots of celebrating that night! A LOT! 1 word- Patron!
