Just fit in a quick 5 miler in a day of putting in an engine in the neighbor's car, a new water heater for my dad, and a couple hours in court.

So nice to have a marathon with no pressure, just for fun.  I had a Nashville overnight, just two hours away from Huntsville and just enough time to drive down the night before and drive back after the race. 

Fun marathon, but I have never ran this many 90 degree turns in a race before.  It was all over the city.  I wouldn't recommend this one for anyone looking for a fast time, but great hospitality!

I'm excited now to get into the training mode again
