I liked the courses as well.. at first when I looked the map I thought that all highway at the end was going to be boring… and not, thr entertainment, characters, and the space worked well
I just landed home, moved my flight up by 5 hrs vs initial plan; so instead of being at the pool; going to MK with the medals for the photos… I felt in high need of self pampering and care… tomorrow I’m flying early due to work…
I got to say… every bus I saw in the road, I felt tempted to jump into it… my feet were truly hurting, I felt blisters in my toes, and didn’t want to stop for medical, as I felt that if I took the shoes off once I wouldn’t have the strength to put them back on … so I just kept saying let’s try one more mile, let’s see where is the next bus etc… every time I felt giving up an “angel” in the side showed up as spectator saying “you got this”, “you can do it”… they might never know how much they helped me (and probably others)…
When i got to the hotel and took the shoes and socks off … holy! .. probably I shouldn’t have kept going.. but … I did it!!! Very proud of me
)
Now on my way home to put ice in the knees as well because in my rush to get sooner to the airport I didn’t properly stretch …anyhow .. self care time it is
This was just my second HM ever in life, so I’m taking many lessons learned for the upcoming ones (DL, princess, springtime) (!) … got to see if the toe socks are better option for me, or try another type taking more humidity into consideration..
All and all, happy and thankful!
My legs are definitely feeling it and I’ll be hobbling around the Epcot tonight, but I have not run this hard in months (Garmin showed a moving time of 1:59). My last run over 10 miles was in August.
