I DID IT!
Not only did I do it, but I did it in 41.50 (official time, but I would take 45-60 secs off bc I started behind the starting line in the very back of the pack, and then I waited 30 secs to run) my average mile time was 13.30 ... not bad actually. When Trish & I were trying to do 2 miles under 28 mins., a time of 27 was considered pretty good! (by us)
Waiting for the race to begin, and putting the silly "luggage tag" on my shoe; it is the computerized ID that figures out my "official" time.
At the beginning of the race. See the two women (#130 & 186) I actually ran behind them the whole run, and the person in the dark shirt behind those two -- I beat her! (go me!)
At the end of the race just before the finish line. Like the purple face I have! Just goes to show that I was working it!
Look, I'm so fast that Trish couldn't even get a photo of me! hahahahahahaha........
And there I go into the tunnel towards the finish line. I think I was running so fast (snark!) because I had to pee pretty badly. And look at those cows. dang I have large calf muscles!OK, seriously, I am excited and pretty dog-gone proud of myself for doing the entire race. Now, to train for the Whitmore Lake 5K!

You my friend rock my world! I'm so proud of you!!! You should feel so good because this is an amazing accomplishment!!!! Go Lucy!!!!!
I was a bit nervous, but knew I could finish it, it was just a matter of how hard I pushed myself. I did about mediocre pushing, but there were some big hills. Regardless, this was a HUGE mental accomplishment for me - as I have NEVER EVER run more than 2 straight. I did walk and run this ... but I have bigger goals for the next one. Yup ... NEXT one. (tripple gulp!)
