This is one of my favorite courses to run is the Thanksgiving Point Half Marathon because it is the same time as the tulip festival. I love running past the tulips and seeing all the different colors of tulips. It is absoutly amazing and they are georgous! I did this run last year as well and it was perfect weather and last year was the fastest time on completing a half marathon. I was indeed impressed with myself. This year it was still beautiful and I remembered the course and it was very well organized. The one downfall though is it was raining the WHOLE time....this is the second half marathon that i have ran that it has rained the first one was with my mom. I love running in the rain the first 6 miles then after that I am ready to be done ha ha! I was soaked. This time running this half marathon it kicked my butt. I was struggling a little bit especially at mile 8 the rain was impacting me and i was soaked from head to toe. I am grateful for the chance I had to do this run again. If you haven't gone to the tulip festival at Thanksgiving point make it next year! It is definatly worth it and is beautiful. The rain was on the tulips making them all fresh and I could smell them running by. It was beautiful.

I love laughing and talking about the course with her as well as people we saw on the course. My mom is one who does not think of her self she is always thinking of others. Thanks mom for being my example/ my best friend/ and the most amazing mom ever. Love you!
