Melissa's Road Race

These shoes were made for Running and that's just what they did!
Now I'm a bit nervous as too what they will do next?!

It was finally the weekend, Saturday September 25/2010. I have been preparing for this weekend for a while, but Aspen had prepared for not even a month and we Rocked at Melissa's Road Race.
The morning of the run I was very nervous the wind was howling and when you are in the mountains it just seems like it was so much more. . . I kept telling A what ever you do don't give up and cross the finish line with a smile. Well she didn't give up and she crossed with a smile. A's 1st 10km race was finished with a 1:05.40sec's. I am so PROUD of her and now I fear for the day she says to me "Mom let's do a Marathon." She'll kick my butt!!
This was my 1st 1/2 marathon and I loved it. (not the wind) I had set a goal and I know despite the wind I would have achieved it. Non the less I did finish and cross the finish line with a smile. I finished my 22km in 2:15.50, with a lot of salty sweat and dirt attached to the exposed parts of my body. I cried I have to say as I came in, I saw my girl cheering for me and just seeing her their and the smile on her face I new she had had a good run.
