Mission Accomplished

My alarm clock went off at 4:30 this morning. I stumbled to the kitchen, hit the coffee pot power button, and started getting dressed.


My mind kept discouraging me- telling me that my foot would probably start hurting, my knees would kill me at the end. Then it started telling me I didn't train properly, that I may not even finish, that Nashville has some killer hills.

I told my mind to shut up.

And kept telling it to shut up until I crossed the finish line for the 13.1 mile race in 2:36.

Thanks for the recipe suggestion. I am thinking it might be good with some elbow pasta and maybe even some black beans?? What do you think?

Great job! I've run the half 2 times as well and had the same feeling both times before I heard the start gun sound.
