I wanna Rock and Roll all night...

Sunday was the VA Beach Rock and Roll 1/2 Marathon

I ROCKED that bish!

werd.

My goal was to finish in 2:30

I ran it in 2:28:57

BOOM!

I actually felt really great running

The course was beautiful- especially the run on the boardwalk the last mile of the race.

The weather was

PERFECT

When it isn't 99 degrees outside- you can really appreciate running a lot more

(notice my face isn't as red)

My only problem occurred after the race

I took some medicine that I didn't realize would dehydrate me

as soon as I crossed the finish line I felt awful

I couldn't eat

I didn't want to drink

My stomach hurt so bad

All I did was sleep the rest of the day

At one point I was really concerned that I would have to go to the hospital

So

Lesson learned.

No new medications before a run.

On a happy note...

Abbie 

my super awesome boyfriend whom I love more than anything

surprised me with my very own Garmin!

It was great knowing my pace/mileage/time during the race

is he the best or what?

Abbie, by the way, ran the half in under 2 hours

with practically zero training

amazing.

One more thing off MY BUCKET LIST!
But
I decided to add a full marathon to the list now.

More about my weekend tomorrow
