Candice, Louis, and Parker were all there to cheer me on. It was pretty exciting. I finished the race in 2 hours and 46 minutes. I was satisfied with my time giving how things were going earlier this week. I had two goals for myself, to beat my time from 2 years ago, and if I couldn't do that to at least finish in under 3 hrs. And I accomplished both!! I beat my time by 4 minutes!!!
Something different for this race was the race route. This year the route actually went through the campus of St. Jude Children's Hospital. Some of the children from the hospital and their parents were outside to cheer us on. It was very emotional.
Here are a few more pictures from the day!

The race was over before I knew it! It went by so fast. The race ended on the field of AutoZone Park, and I have to say, the way they had the layout set up this year was not good. It was super crowded and I thought I would never find Candice, Louis, and Parker, but I did!! Then I was able to go to the finisher's tent! There they had all kinds of food. Soup and cookies from McAlister's, Domino's pizza, Krispy Kreme Donuts, bananas and oranges, and beer!
For the rest of the afternoon, Can and I didn't do much of anything but watch movies and T.V. shows. I think I sad on the couch in the same position for about 4 hours, without even realizing it, and then I tried to stand up! It was not a good idea to sit there for so long without moving, but I walked around the house for a little while and felt much better. It was lots of fun getting to just veg out with Can. It was a great way to finish off the day!
You're super speedy!! Only 1 hr and 46 minutes! I enjoyed vegging...can we do it again sometime?! ;-)
