Music City 1/2 Marathon- Update

One month later... We had a great start at the half marathon the sun was shining and my feet were ready! It was an amazing site to see 72 pink sparkling hula hoops crossing the start line and what a rush of empowerment! At about mile 7 (coming back down Belmont) it started sprinkling and it felt great because I was getting hot. My husband was posted up at mile 9, it was nice to see someone you knew in the crowd- it gives you that extra push to keep going! About 10 minutes later the bottom fell out, it was pouring (and thundering) but my feet were dry and i was ready to keep going. The police were posted up warning us that the storms were going to get worse and as you turn around to look behind you there were busses following behind to pick those up who either couldn't finish or were moving too slow so we picked up the pace, hoops still spinning, I was bound and determined NOT to get on that bus!!! I had worked 4 long months training in the cold and snow- I was there to make a statement for Hooping for Hope! Needless to say my feet didn't stay dry but I crossed that finish line soaking wet and a metal around my neck and even though it stormed it was still a great experience.

p.s. As a group we raised over 14,000 for Hooping for Hope
