Mom ran her half marathon on Saturday with Frank and their friend Shannon. They all finished it! Her time was 2 hours and 22min. That means that her average time per mile was about 11 minutes. She only stopped for about a second when they all needed to pee around mile 7. Frank sprinted the last 2 miles and came in before them!
The race it self went through Queens which was not to pretty but it did loop through a part that as Frank said looked like Nantucket. Still they will never live in Queens no matter what!
Mom was so proud of herself that she was able to run the whole race, in the beginning she was all freaked out that she would come in last, she was worried about what others would think about her, she was questioning where to pin her number. All of her concerns were out of FEAR. Once she started running every feeling and concern left her body, she was running. She got a total runners high and became really funny. She was not able to sensor anything that came out of her mouth.
After the run, Frank and her, Ate a lot, and drank a lot a lot!
All in all the day was great, and mom has lost her fear of running long distances, and will someday run a real marathon, not just a half.
