The Best Run of My Life


Chevron Houston Marathon 2010 --- I can't believe I ran you! Ever since I decided to run a marathon, the biggest race I could ever do in my life, I've always wanted to run the Houston but never had the chance. So September 2009, I made SURE I registered on time --- this race freaking closed out in like 3 days!!! I'm still shocked that I accomplished Marathon #2. After the 1st one, I told myself I would never put myself through that type of torture again... never say "never" right?

Anyways, I came in 20 minutes FASTER then my first ever marathon at 5:35:04~!!! I'm not a fast runner, but it's a big deal for me to manage to stay within a 12 minute pace the entire way!! My family is the best because they support me in everything I do. Thank you guys for enduring the 5 and a half hours w/ me!! Congratulations BJ on your FIRST race EVER!! Thanks for pushing me to the finish line. =)

It looks like I'm walking, but I was really running my heart out at this point!! -- haha




Who's down to start training for next year?

  1. man i'm scared to do a marathon. i think of how many people walk out of there all weird. knowing i'll be walking/running for 5+ hours. i was mentally drained after riding my bike for 3+ hours one time. i really wanted to just give up. but i guess we'll see, after i do the ms150. CONGRATS again. it's another thing to take out of the bucket list.
