I walked! Twenty-five minutes. It was very wobbly. I crack myself up sometimes. Never mind, you had to be there. The official results of the marathon are posted now. I came in 3rd in the 50-59 AG, out of 6. (Chuckling, still.) Only #1 in each group got some kind of physical reward, so no bling for me. A perfect example of why you always want to carry your own fun with you at all times. The overall marathon winner came in at 2:39, and 2nd place at 3:02. (Interestingly, 4th place overall was a woman, at 3:10.) Are those times kind of slow for a "fast downhill course," or is it just that the race was so small? (Only 100 runners after all.) Maybe I'm not the only one who got caught in the sand. Tidbits... Nothing to do with my recent discussion of goals, but an interesting Ted Talk about keeping your goals to yourself: http://www.wimp.com/goalsyourself/ And for all my blog friends who are interested in minimalist footwear (personally, I am not speaking to my ST3-Ms, and the other two pairs are on probation too, just for spite), here is an un-shoe review: http://www.barefootrunners.org/images/barefoottj/Run%20Free/MinimalistFootwearReview.pdf
