Well, I guess I am in the second looser of this race according to RAD.  ;)  I didn't even know I was fifth place until I looked at the race results the day after the race.

I ran in circles for five hours; I am officially insane.  Here are a few highlights of today's VERY long run.

1. I brought my husband to a race in which he planned to run a a half marathon.  Well, his run turned into 28 miles.  I was proud of him, his longest run of 2012 was 10 miles. :)

2. I got to run the first 13 miles with RAD and it went by rather quickly.  When she told me we had already ran 9 miles, I was not happy.  I told her not to tell me where we were until we reached 20 miles.

3.  I knew David was about done with his half, so I went to run with him a little.  That little bit turned into me leading him around the track.  I started counting every ten laps and then call out for a rest.

5. 15 miles in my left foot was screaming!!!  Running one direction killed my arch.  Every time we stopped I limped.  Changed shoes and it helped a little.

6. I was proud to run part of my 21st marathon with my husband and finish with him. We walked for about 40 minutes after we finished.   

Great day, did not feel like I had ran a marathon.

I loved seeing your name up there!!! How awesome is that :) we can be losers together :) I wish your darn foot would've behaved better and that you could've run the last few with me! I was SO bored, but I'm glad you had David with you. I loved passing you guys as you were walking around hand in hand :) always made me smile.

Good job Rebecca! You did a great job! I wouldn't call myself a loser for running an indoor marathon regardless of my place :)
