Goals: My goal for the last few weeks was to make it to bend! And i made it :D I'm the last one to make it, but i did!!!!! I even made little inspirational sings in my room telling me how hard i was going to have to work to get there!
I am so excited!
Done better? I don't think i could have done anything better, i honestly ran my hardest! Running with Sarah was amazing, she got me 100% out of my comfort zone! We were giving each other high fives and yelling at each other to keep going. It was so great! Sarah you ROCK! :D
Did great? I just ran thinking about how bad i wanted to make it to Bend. Running with that goal was so great! You kind of forget about how much it sucks or the pain and you run because i had to if i wanted to go to Bend!!:D I feel like i ran the corners well. There was so many of them and i don't feel like it was much of a obstacle because i ran them correctly!
Mile 1: The start was great, i felt like i was in a good position, i felt great, in the beginning i was concentrating on getting up to cbreona (sorry i cant spell) which i did on the corner after the first hill after the bridge. Then i saw Sarah and i told myself i have to get up there with her. So i think it was just before the first loop around the tree on that downhill that i got up to her.
Mile 2: I don't remember where this one started, but i was with Sarah, and we were pushing each other, passing people as we could, high fiveing, we were doing great.
Mile 3: Sarah and I were kind of running alone in our own little group, the group in front of us was way up there. When we reached that really long straight part we knew this was it and we needed to push it! Haha. I feel like we really picked it up then, and when we got to the that turn to the finish, Sarah said COM'ON Jessica! Haha and then ZOOOOOM she was gone! Haha. That was crazy! Then i tried to run faster and i think i picked up some more speed, but i don't remember. Then at the finish in the shoot Sarah was waiting for me and gave me a big hug! Haha I'm pretty sure this was my favorite-est race ever!
THANKS SARAH!!! :) Couldn't have done it without you!
Happy Birthday Tomorrow Rusty!!!
