Hobble Creek 2010

I ran the Hobble Creek 1/2 Marathon again this year. I ran this same one last year, but last year I was alone. It was much better to have a friend to do it with this year. Stacie who was out of commision for a year with a pregnancy, came back. And she came back with a vengeance. She is solid, consistent, strong, competitive, and awesome. She kicked this half's butt and came in at 1:58. That is an awesome time. I came in at 2:11. Which does beat my last years time for this course by 9 minutes. I am proud of that. This is not my favorite race and I doubt I will do it again. They don't start on time and that to me, is just mean. The first 6 or 7 miles of this course are beautiful. But the last half I could do without.
That being said, I still loved our sleepover at Stacie's moms house the night before, I LOVED our awesome dinner we had that night at Pizzeria 7-12. And I had a great time! Proud of our accomplishment and proud that we finished another race. Congratulations Stacie my friend, Thank you for sharing this with me!




Standing in line to get my shirt.
A bit wasted, sweaty, and tired right after the finish line.

Recovering and reminiscing with each other..



The BEST Cheerleaders ever! Izzy was at a waterski activity, but other then that, they NEVER miss a race. I appreciate my support team.. Thank you guys!
I LOVE YOU!!

  4. Heidi, NO. I have on mascara and anything else is from the day before. I think it's just the lighting that makes it look that way.
