Hi Everyone!!
Sorry for not writing sooner, things really have been crazy here. On a good note, I completed my first half-marathon earlier this month in Dingle Town, Ireland. It was one of the most amazing races I have ever run. The weather was absolutely perfect (45 degrees and NO RAIN!) and the scenery along the route was breathtaking. Truly! I was running along cliffs and on roads with cows and sheep. Where else would there be a race where you have to stop to let the sheep cross the road? There were runners from all over the world participating in this event and I was thrilled to be running with them. I completed the half-marathon (13 miles), but there were quite a few runners who completed the whole marathon (26 miles). I do not know about the other runners, but my legs were so sore after the race. As I told my parents, the race was fantastic, but my body hated me when it was over. I gave myself three hours to complete the half-marathon since I had never run this distance before, but to my surprise I completed the race in 2 hours and 28 minutes. Yea!! Overall it was a wonderful experience and I cannot wait to run my next race, wherever it might be.
Love Always,
Amanda
