Hello, Princess Walkers!
I finished my first Princess Half Marathon!!!
To be honest, I was more than a little worried when I found out that I was in the last corral. The Sunday before the PHM, I walked in a 10K as a way to get into an earlier corral. My 10K time wasn't great so I was tempted to not even ask Race Relations about it. Thankfully, my friend encouraged me to ask and, miraculously, I was bumped up into an earlier corral - E!
So, I was able to walk the entire way, stopping only to snap pictures of all the fun along the route. The course was crowded but, because of the high humidity and the fact that there were lots of racers behind me, I didn't really push to go too fast. I finished just shy of 4 hours....a full half hour slower than I had finished other half marathons.
I had a blast, though, and can't wait to go back.
Thank you, Dreamer and John and Brooke and all of the other walkers for your encouragement this past year.
So glad you had a good time with your daughter, D.
P.S. - Dreamer, this Southern girl didn't like the humidity either and was so happy that the sun didn't come out. My friend looked up the weather later and found out that the humidity had been 93%.
We were swimming!
