Mohawk Hudson River Half Marathon 2013
Yesterday was a beautiful day for a race. The weather was perfect and I got to sleep in my own bed the night before. Pretty nice. I haven’t ran a big local race in awhile so it was fun to do it again Chris dropped me off at the start at a little before 8 am and then we said goodbye. He had to go to the airport to fly out for a job interview…good luck Chris!! Anyway, after chatting for a bit with Keri, one of my fellow Ragnar turtles, we were off. We both were representing Ragnar! I started running at a pretty easy pace since the beginning…

A Special Race
Sunday is the Mohawk Hudson River Half Marathon (and full marathon). This race has a special place in my heart since it was my very first half marathon three years ago today. I ran it on 10.10.10 and I knew that was a sign! This year it will be my 10th half marathon. This race opened the doors for me to long distance running. At the time I couldn’t believe I was running 13.1 miles. Back then I never though I’d run a full marathon, let alone two of them. I’ve achieved things I never though possible, met some amazing people, and found things within myself I never knew existed.…

One Year Ago…
I ran my very first half marathon, the mohawk hudson river half marathon on 10.10.10. It was such an awesome experience and I wish I could re-live it! Sadly I didn’t register in time this year to run it again, but good luck to everyone running the marathon and half marathon today! Its a great race. But I do have a goal…to run and PR this race next fall! And maybe even break 2 hours.

Mohawk Hudson River Half Marathon
The day finally arrived! Today, 10.10.10, was the day I ran my first half marathon! I woke up super early this morning at 5:45AM to eat breakfast, which was two whole grain waffles topped with almond butter and cherry butter. These held me over pretty well. I got dropped off at the start at 7:30AM. Despite the photo, I was FREEZING. It was like 35 degrees this morning, no lie. I had worn an oversized sweatshirt to throw away once I got warmed up, but I took it off for the picture! 😉 After waiting around and freezing my butt off, the race finally started at 8:30AM sharp. And off…
