Music City Marathon

This would be my 2nd one to complete but this year the weather was way different than last year. We were rained on the entire time, it wasn't as bad as it could have been I guess. Every stitch of clothing we had on was soaked but I'm praising God there are no blisters on my feet which is what I worried most about. I did wear some really thick socks though & I think that may have helped tons.

I was so thrilled to have Eugene participating with me, we stayed together until just after the 3 mile marker when he took a potty break. I was worried about him because of his hurt foot but not long after I crossed the finish line he called to say he was also finished. We both had a great experience & I'm excited for the next one.

The tag added to my shoe, I love attaching these :)


We wore these bracelets they gave us when we picked up our registration packets.
 

Before the race, this was Eugene's first attempt & I'm thankful to say even though it wasn't the greatest experience because of the weather, he's said he will attempt again next year :)
 
 
Got the bling to prove it!!

This was my run keeper stats, my official time was 2:37 which means I was able to shave off 16 mins from last years official time. Yay me!! I really wanted to stay around the 2:30 - 2:40 range & I was able to do just that even though I was drenched & frozen.
