Indy Mini Marathon

This is the view of the Indy Mini Marathon starting point before I knew what was coming my way.  I averaged just over 13 minute miles for the first 9 miles and then slowed way down to end to just over 15.  I finished the half marathon in 3 hours and 25 minutes.  Not bad for a first try.  The hardest part was the 10 mile mark.  It was hard being by myself.  I called Eddie for some reassurance at that point. The last mile was also hard but Eddie kept sending me funny family pictures on my cell phone to keep me going.  I still can not figure out why I walked the whole race leaning to the right.  I looked pretty funny almost falling over to the right at the finish line.

 

 

here we are in our coral waiting for the race to begin.

I was SOOOO sore but it sure felt good to be done.

 

 

Here we are relaxing at the hotel after the race.

 

Here are a few pictures taken during the race.
