Well, here I am, a few weeks later, finally getting around to posting about the marathon. Sorry it's taken so long, things have been crazy and overwhelming in the Nack house as of late. Hopefully things will be slowing down soon and we'll be back to our usual happy selves. :)
The marathon (half, but whatever) didn't go as well as I would like. It started out great, a little rainy, which I think is great cause it cools me off, and tons of people cheering us on. I made great time my first 6 miles or so and was right on track of making my goal time.
Around mile 10, I pulled a muscle in my right thigh, which was extremely painful. This is the leg that usually gives me trouble, but not that muscle. At that point, it was walking time. Walking time makes me sad :( But it was good because I got to spend some time with my crazy/wonderful boss who ran it even with pnuemonia!! I did finish, and I'm really proud of how the first half of the race went, so we're just gonna take the happiness from the first part and roll with it into our next race:
Here are some pictures for your general enjoyment:

Mile 2 or 3 maybe...

Looking like I'm dying at the finish!!
After the race :) Thanks for the flowers Mom and Dad!!
I'll try and be better about posting, and keeping you updated on my training for Seattle, but that's all for now!!

You are amazing! I don't think I would ever finish even if I walked the whole way.
You did it!! WOW! And I can't believe you are still training for a full-length marathon. Wait to go! :)
Congrats! You rock!!! Don't worry about walking or your time. The point is finishing! You go girl!
