Day 512: The Hardest. Race. Ever. Done!

Day 512:
The Hardest. Race. Ever. Done!
 
The "Toughest 10k in the Midwest" is done! 
I ran. 
There were hills. 
Lots of hills. 
I finished. 
I met my goal.
1:30:49
Funds raised = $205
 
So, what more can I say other than thank you! 
Thank you to all the runners at Southfield Church who have helped me train for this race.  Especially Bob Coyne who put together all the workouts.
Thank you to my family for putting up with all the hours of work that goes into training for any race.
Thank you to all those who donated to Abolution International and giving new meaning to being free to run.
Thank you Mom and Doug for showing up to cheer me on at mile 5.5.
Thank you Haley Hurd and her cheering crew for brightening a very tough mile 2.5.
Thank you Daisy Austin for being an awesome friend, running partner, and photographer (that's her picture of me above).
Thank you Ray and Alice Capps for being there at the finish line to cheer me home.
Thank you Vicki Braun and Joie Austin for running the last .2 miles with me.
Thank you for taking the time to read this blog and follow my running journey.
 
What's next you may ask?
Finish the other two races in the Run3

Taking a well deserved nap now,
Lisa
