Jan 14 laguna beach & irvine half marathon

this past weekend, my cross country teammates and i drove down to laguna beach for a half marathon in irvine!

we all finished the half marathon, and did really well! even though many of us could barely move afterwards, we were all really happy that we did it. i found that the hardest part was from mile 10 and on. my legs started feeling pretty tired, and it started raining too. it was nice at first, but then i was completely drenched by the end. the feeling of accomplishment, and sharing that experience with my teammates made it 1000 percent worth it though.

when we weren’t running, we were playing board games (code names + what do you meme are soo fun), relaxing in the hot tub, playing basketball (at least attempting to play), or walking around the beach. the beaches are absolutely gorgeous in socal. i loved going there in the early morning, and then watching the sunset in the afternoon. it made me want to live by the ocean when i grow up…

this trip was so fun, and i’m so glad that i got to spend time with my teammates.
