I successfully completed my half marathon on Sunday and the best part is that I did it in GRANADA. For those of you that don't know, a half marathon is 13.1 miles or 21.17 kilometers. My friend Rachel and I had been training for about a month before hand (normal training period is anywhere from 4 months plus) but we were able to run the whole time and we finished right at our goal. We crossed the finish line at just about 2 hours therefore we averaged 9 minute miles the whole race. It was probably one of the hardest things that I have ever done physically and I am still hurting but I am very glad that I chose to run it :) I posted some pictures below!
This week has been pretty boring. I took the majority of my midterms and this weekend I will be staying in Granada studying for the DELE which I have on the 18th. The DELE is a test administered by the Spanish government. The goal is to demonstrate your proficiency in the language. There are numerous levels, and I am taking the B2 level. Hopefully I will be able to pass because supposedly medical school really like it :) Hope everyone is having a good week!
Eight people from my program ran the half marathon!
