Bay Bridge Run!!

This week was weird. Josh was home for Monday and Tuesday, the days I usually run. Wed I did TBW and this week we had a substitute and this lady walked in and announced that she was on a mission! I am here to tell you shes a homicidal maniack when it comes to working out! Yes she has a perfect body but I think she was trying to make us look like her in the 50 min we were there! Thursday I did 4 miles in the morning and Zumba that evening. Friday I took off all together so I would have fresh legs for the race on Sunday. Sunday was the race! I got there at 7 the race started at 8 and I finished in 41:09! I was so excited to see my time. I had crossed the line at 45:35 but my time chip said 41 since there was 10,000 people there it took 4 min to get from where i was across the start line! ya 10,000 people! It was insane! There was a flood of people covering the whole bridge and the road leading up to it and after it!  Runners walkers even people in wheel chairs! It was awesome they had a different band at every mile marker, a Meriacci  band, the Navy Brass Band and the Navy Rock band  it was so fun to listen to them while we were running!  We took the Ferry home it was fun over all and I didnt stop running! While I was doing the steepest part of the run ( 12-13 degree incline) I had this moment where I looked over my shoulder and I could have sworn I saw my dad running with me. Then I heard his voice in my head telling me that I can do it and to not give up. That he was right there with me So I  cried really hard which made the run even harder but it was an amazing experience that I dont think Ill ever forget!
