Week 12 Run

Today was the worst run ... everyone tells you that you will have a bad run. I had no idea what a "bad run" meant - well, now I do. The whole week I hadn't been sleeping very well. From the beginning of the run it was terrible. At the first water stop Coach Rick was there and as soon as he saw me he said "You are having a bad run" and I burst into tears. My muscles hurt, and mentally the run was torture. At mile 15 (I was suppose to run 18) I threw in the towel and had Mark pick me up. It was devastating. The only good side of it, was that I now know what they mean when they say a bad run and no matter what happens on the day of the marathon, I am prepared.

Below is a video of all the runners before we head with some encouraging words from Coach Rick.
