Almost a month ago Clint and I ran in a half marathon. After several attempts and failures at training for a half marathon, we finally did it! One of our set backs was when Clint had to have surgery and we had to change the half marathon location...which led us to run in the first annual Beaumont Gusher (I promise you that is what they called it). I had hurt my foot pretty badly a week before we were supposed to run, but I was not going to let this training go on our failure list. We were going to run if Clint had to drag me behind him! The race was not bad. It was actually quite interesting to see all of the different people that were there. If you know me, you know that I am not a big talker while I run. This race I talked a little bit more, but it was comments like, "my foot hurts so bad, I think I need to stop." Clint was such an encourager and hung with me. There was no way I could have done that without him. Who knew that running could teach you so much about you and your marriage?!? We have decided that this is the first of many half marathons for our family. One random thing that did happen is that we somehow got lost and ran two extra miles!!!
So glad that we finished the race...even the extra 2 miles!!
Even with special running socks, my feet were not saved from huge, nasty blisters!!
I hope this does not induce vomiting!!!
