Warm hearts on a Rainy day

Yesterday was the LA marathon. Everyone was talking about the stormy weather that was coming our way, but none of us seemed to believe it until we were standing under the dark, gloomy clouds hanging over us at the start line. I had no idea what was in for myself. I started out at a steady pace and then around mile 6, I really started to slow down. My right knee was screaming at me and it still is. The rain began to crash down and there was not an inch of dryness on our bodies. Shoes were drenched, socks were soaked and we were running threw the hardest rainfall I've seen in a long time. At Mile 13 I said goodbye to Ivan and he went on his way to finish the race. I am proud of every single person who crossed that 26.2 mile finish line in Santa Monica yesterday, because it was not an easy task. My heart goes out to all those who stuck with it and took the challenge of completing the whole race. I am so upset with myself I didn't finish it, but I am happy I made it to mile 13, but a little discouraged I didn't complete my goal. It just pushes me to work harder. It was absolute chaos at that finish line. But wow, what a day. I'll never forget it.

Anyways, school is yelling my name this week, tons to do and next week is finally spring break! Not going anywhere, but it will be nice to hit the gym for a few extra hours, or catch up on sleep. A couple mroe months at the end of the semester, I'll be soaking up the rays in Miami and the Bahamas :) Hopefully the sun shows its face this week, because my spirits are always up a bit higher when the sun is out.
