The 1/2 marathon

The half Marathon Sunday was so many things! My best! I had my personal best 1/2 marathon by 7 minutes! I felt so amazing. I actually found myself running with a smile on my face. I was running with such an inner joy I cannot find the words. I was singing along to my music and enjoying the experience. Yes I was looking at my time and my pace, but for the first time it was pride not disappointment every time I looked at at. I felt this new sense of accomplishment. I seriously cannot wait for the next race! Really a great Race! "See Jane Run" Seattle 1/2 Marathon was extremely organized. Maybe the best I've been to so far. Packet pick-up the day before made morning of lines very quick. Lots of port-a potties made my nervous bladder happy. Lol. The bag check was very well ran, I didn't use it but I investigated. The MC (which I haven't found out who it was yet) was the most engaging person. She was so uplifting and excited. The volunteers were very nice. The course although not my favorite was well marked and well supported by police and volunteers very safe!!! The aid station volunteers were great and well staffed. The festivities after the race were awesome! Great after race foods, great booths that were all women related, photo booths, champagne, clothes , just awesome! The medal and t- shirt were super cute, I'd wear the T-shirt out and about! Highly rated race! People I covered a lot of things in my video blog. The lack of support and encouragement, the crazy strange outfits, the lack of training. I dont want to seem negative or like I'm bashing. I'm not not at all! I love the running community and if a tutu gets you out there go for it!Anything that makes you run I 100% support, tutu is not for me:) I was just disappointed that there wasn't as many people into cheering and supporting as most of the races I had been to. That's what has made me run races before, it just made me sad that others were not feeling what I have in the past. Like, what if this is the only race someone has done? That would be sad. I will say the groups were great! Makes me sad I haven't been able to find a group or get a group together. I want that so bad! The lack of training concerns me a lot, I just don't want people getting hurt. And people were. I mentioned it because I care. I love running, I love races and I love the running community! I can't wait for the next race! I have a 5k Saturday with my fiancé and I am really looking forward to it!
