I did it!

The Apple Hill Harvest Run was a success! At the last minute (with encouragement from my hubby) I switched out my 3.5 mile race to the 8.5 mile race! I've never run more than 5 miles ever in my life, but, something about the challenge of the 8.5 mile race made me wanna go for it...and I did it! Finished all 8.5 miles...I can hardley believe it, didn't know I had it in me. :)  First 6 miles we good, but man the last 2 were harsh! They were uphill & tough. On top of that, it was pouring rain & 40 degrees! My hubby joined me for the last 1/2 mile & helped me finish the run. Sammy rant he kids 1/2 mile run & did excellent, even though is was raining! :) The course was really beautiful, running through an autum painted trees. I'm glad I did it & I would def do it again. :)
