Make sure to read below : D.  Ahhhhh RUNNING!!  so wonderful.  So did not feel like I ever ran a marathon last Saturday at 3:09 pace.  If the swelling were down I would be 100 percent but boy did these legs feel fluidy.  My pelvis felt swollen as well but I felt so good otherwise.  No nagging muscle pains, a little hamstring tightness but nothing that made me ever feel like I was over doing it.  Ran 10 miles at easy pace of 8:18.  I left my house at 8:15am.  It was a very warm morning.   Oh I did stop and talk to Stacy for about 15 minutes (she was outside her house along my route) and then I saw Kim with one mile to go and we talked for about 5 minutes.  Enough of this let's move on to the MOST EXCITING NEWS OF ALL-   I GOT INTO THE ST GEORGE MARATHON by RUN 13.  They had a contest after their Memorial Day 10 k race for their SGM entry they had.  I had to write them about why I think I deserved the SGM Slot.  YIPPPEEEEE!!!  That was 2.5 weeks ago.  I had to be patient but I got in.  So SUB 3 here I come!!!  It is SOOOOOO happening.
