Saturday we got up bright and early to head off to Sulphur, Lousiana for our half. It was an hour and a half drive which wasn't too bad but at 5am you would rather be sleeping haha.
The weather was perfect, it was about 50 degrees at the start and ended around 70 degrees. The course literally spanned between two parks and was flat. I have to say the best part of the race were the volunteers riding bicycles and checking on runners in between water points. They had backpacks with water and GU just in case. It was nice to have that extra precaution in case you were struggling in between water points. I was definitely hurting by the end but it was good pain and as usual we had a blast.
The race benefited the local cross country team and being able to help out the kids is a win for me.

This is probably one of my favorite medals we have received! I have never seen a wood carved medal before so it is definitely unique.
We ended the day with dinner at a Japanese Hibachi restaurant and passed out by 9:30pm haha. Overall, I would say half marathon #12 was a success!
Hope you all had a great weekend!
