First off, THANK YOU all so much for all your support leading up to the Pittsburgh Marathon :) Even though I just ran 5 miles in the relay--for this former smoker, running hater, couch potato--it was quite an accomplishment! And although I have NO desire to ever run the whole thing, it was very inspiring to see all the runners coming across the finish line reaching their goals :)
So here is how the weekend went.
First we got there and our hotel was surrounded by the BEST shopping ever!
Then we went to Dave and Busters that night and stayed out way too late having fun and playing games.
After a very SHORT night of sleep, it was time to race.
This is totally what I was picturing while running...
And I totally feel like this perfectly describes me...
BUT, in reality...
I had such a blast and finished with under 10 minute miles--which I was not expecting! It was a great experience and I was so glad that Monday was Cinco de Mayo, because after that race I felt like this...
Me and the hubs basking in marathon glory--aka Happy we are still alive ha!

oxox,
Haha love this! I totally look like that corgi when I run too. I HATE running. Like, more than anything. Margaritas on the other hand... love! :) What all did you get on your shopping spree? I swear I can't pass up a good sale! Glad you made it through the race!!

This is funny! Can't believe I didn't have a margarita yesterday. I'm so boring! I just started running not that long ago but am finding it so difficult! I can't even build up to a mile! So I decided to start walking because I can go longer distances walking but now both of my ankles hurt so I may not be doing anything in the near future. :(

Congrats on the marathon! I think it's awesome that you did even part of it because I can't run a mile without passing out :) And it looks like it turned out to be an awesome weekend too!
ReplyDeleteYou go girl!! I did not know you could do it as a relay! I may have to look into that because honestly 26 miles sounds horrible, haha!

You killed me with all the pictures Tori (especially the dog one haha)! Too funny! Congrats on finishing your marathon and fitting in some shopping time too:)! Rita @ www.CoastWithMe.com
ReplyDeleteAhhh love the photos and quotes, especially the first three. So great that you ran. 5 miles is 5 miles. I have never run a marathon.
ReplyDeleteThe pic of you and hubby is so sweet. Looking forward to your outfit posts, as per usual. And especially to tell us about what you bought.
