After passing the Mile 10 squad, there was one more sign I was looking for and it was this one. I hoped to find it at the finish and I did. It was Kathi's sign. As John and I rounded the last bend, and I pulled every single ounce of energy that I didn't have, I saw this sign and started waving like a mad woman. I was so excited to see them. Maria had run the race and I was hoping it wasn't too cold for her to wait around. I was about to smash my PB. I remember seeing them and pointing at my watch yelling "I'm going to get it". Out came the knife hands and off I went sprinting to the finish.
There is nothing better than seeing friends and family along the way and at the finish cheering you on and especially when you round the last bend and then they finally see you.
Thank you to Kathi, Maria, Steph, PG and the lovely Kel for waiting for me and cheering me across the line.
I did my best demonstration of "knife hands" ever.
