Today was the OKC Memorial Marathon. I ended up running on a relay team with an awesome group of women from my church. I did the final leg- 10K, or 6 miles- thinking I would just take it easy and not have to push myself too hard. Plus I wanted to try and improve my 10K time. Once I realized that my leg of the relay was entirely uphill, I wasn't as hopeful for my goal time of 9:00 miles. But then I had to run INTO the wind. For those of you not in Oklahoma today- let me just tell you- it was crazy windy!! There were points in the race when I literally felt like I wasn't moving because the wind was pushing on me so hard. But I finished in just over an hour, so slower than I had hoped, but still finishing.
I've been a little mopey about running since I decided not to do the full, but my sweet friend Natalie gave me an attitude check tonight. So I leave you with the fact that 6 miles is still good, and I will hold my head up high and stop saying I "just did 6 miles..."
PS- I'm sorry for my lack of updates. I have a ton of pictures and cute stories to post. I'm off work tomorrow, so I will have a whole new blog hopefully sometime tomorrow afternoon!

HI Stephanie! Hey, 6 miles is awesome! I will quit saying, "I just did 3 miles" too. :) I keep catching myself saying that! I would love for ya'll to come up and do a race with me. I really enjoyed getting to visit with you and would love to get together to do it more often! Have a wonderful week!
Let me just say that your "just 6 miles" could encompass all of the miles I have ever run in my life combined.
Congrats on the race!! It is a BIG feat!
So glad we got to talk last night! God blessed us both!
