Yesterday I ran in my first race post-Micah, and it felt good! I had been convinced by Noelle (and then we convinced Laura) to do this Hot Chocolate Run 15k (9.3 miles) because what could be a better prize than Ghirardelli Fondue and Hot Chocolate at the end of the race? "Will run for Chocolate" was the slogan that many adopted.
It was a beautiful day and a girl trip down to the city for a great run! I did much better than I thought I would (placing in the top 11% overall and the top 5% in both sex and division) and gave me hope that I will do okay in my upcoming marathon in 2 weeks. Yikes - that's also a scary thought! We shall see - only time will tell...but I was pleased to get a good feel for a race prior to the big day.
The three girls enjoying some down time after our big run. It was the farthest Laura had ever run, and her and Noelle did awesome!
I was so excited about the chocolate, as you can tell from my face, hands, teeth, etc. When I spilled this, Laura and Noelle immediately pulled out their phones to take a picture of it, ha! What did we used to do without smartphones, seriously?
