Refuel!

Ok, first off I promise to be a lot better about posting. I've been slacking and I do apologize! I finally made it to Washington, D.C. and I am loving every minute of it!! Granted has been a long day, I have had a great time walking all over DC and exploring what the city has to offer. Every single Musuem we visited has definitely given me a different perspective on things... ESPECIALLY the United States Holocaust Museum. That by far was the most touching and interesting feeling I have felt since I was in Israel and walking through the cemetery of all the Israeli Defense Force fallen soldiers.

Back to my race, the USA Rock and Roll half marathon was a great course! Totally would run it again! I will be more prepared for the steep hill between miles 6 and 7... BOY did that give me a run for my money!! I said I can either walk the hill or sprint it. I was not going to run/jog it because then I would not get anywhere. So I sprinted as fast as I could and as I got close to the top, I had to walk up the rest... As we were getting closer to the finish line people were doubling in crowd size... I mean TONS of people! I ran through the finish line and loved how everyone cheered! I love the second wind you get when you are close to finishing and you just sprint!! Ahh so good!!
