second half marathon

The Twin Rivers YMCA Freedom Run 1/2 marathon report.  It was rough.... Discovered that I do like trail running better.  I wanted to quit so bad, but didn't.  I think between running 2 half marathons in a week basically and not feeling well, my mind wasn't in it.  I vomited, and tears were shed.  I stuck on finishing dead last, and I do mean dead last as in the police escorted me a bit as cones were picked up and another runner came back to radio in that they found me.  I had no support really and I don't on this journey so sometimes it's rough and I felt it Sunday. The course was all flat so should have been a piece of cake.  Running is such a mental game, that if you aren't mentally in it, it gets rough.  I wanted to quit so bad, and all I had to do is just tell the Sheriff that was following me, that I couldn't go on.  It would have been so easy to do that, but I'm not much of a quitter and just couldn't stand seeing the DNF on the shirt from the race.  DNF means did not finish.  I wore my shoes out to the point that you could feel every rock which sucked.

****I do have to say, I am officially 35 lbs away from where I want to weigh for fitness competition.
