Dinner with the Internet! From Left to right, Zac and Holli (Cupcakesandchaucer), Steph (stephsdoinglife), Me, Victoria (Victoriafindslife) Ben (Bendoeslife), Sarah, Riley and Lindsay (Lindsaydoeslife).

It was an epic Marathon weekend in Lincoln. Lindsay, Holli, Sarah and I ran the Half-Marathon (it was Holli’s first one!) and Lindsay and I both PR’d! And Ben and Victoria banged out a Full-Marathon with no training! Victoria hasn’t run in 3 months due to injury and Ben’s longest run in awhile was 6-8 miles! And we had the best cheerleader in Steph! She couldn’t run due to the registration cap at 10,000. Next year!

I got to finally meet Steph and Victoria and Ben! They all felt like old friends, right from the beginning.

I am exhausted. I can’t wait to sleep. I promise I will get that recap out soon! This race was pretty amazing and I don’t want to forget a thing!

Have a great week friends!

It all comes down to this…

I met and hung out with some amazing people today! I got to see Lindsay (lindsaydoeslife) and met Steph (stephsdoinglife) and Victoria (victoriafindslife), and Ben (bendoeslife)! Holli (cupcakesandchaucer) had to work, and the rest of the internet is meeting for another dinner now, but I live 45 minutes away from Lincoln and decided to go to bed early in my own bed tonight! I’m so sorry ladies! I’m very sad that I’m not there! You ladies are amazing people!

Tomorrow is half marathon number 2! I love running Lincoln. There is just something about running in on your home turf. Its a beautiful course and its mostly flat! Bonus!

I have so many people coming out to cheer me on, and I’m so grateful to each of them. If you would like to track me, just go here. My bib number is 7161 and my name is Melissa Lindell. My first half I just wanted to finish in under 3 hrs. I did it in 2:42:57. This one I’m hoping to not walk any of it and finish strong!

This has been a pretty great day, I hope tomorrow is just as amazing!

Have a good night friends!
