http://www.phpbbforfree.com/forums/images/smiles/woohoo.gif Woo-Hoo!!! I did it!!! This was the 10 mile race finishing at the 50 yard line of Soldier Field (where the Chicago Bears play).

This is the furthest I have ever ran. I didn't stop to walk at all! I ran the whole thing! I don't know my official time yet but I think it was around 1 hr & 50 minutes. HOLY COW!!! 10 MILES! I never knew I could ever do that!

It was AWESOME!!!!

Okay, I'm going to take a nap now!!!! I'm EXHAUSTED!!!!!

Oh, wow! Thanks you guys! A run together sounds great! I can't tell you how nervous I was before the race. I really didn't know I could do it. I practiced 8 miles the weekend before and it was really hard and I had to stop and walk.

But during this 10 miler I had so much energy and ran the whole thing. It was so COOL!!! What a great feeling!!!

Thanks again everyone!!!

P.S. I just heard on the news that a 28 year old man (he was a runner and very healthy) collapsed at the end of the race and died. My friend saw them giving him CPR and we weren't sure if he made it or not and then I heard he didn't. So sad and scary.

 

[dani21496]

THANK YOU!! Oh, and YES, I'm signed up for the half marathon in September and the FULL Chicago marathon is on October 9th!!!!!

I'll keep you all posted!
