Hallelujah, it's over!!! :) :) :)
This week has been crazy and this race was not on my priority list until Friday. Sadly, I forgot a bunch of my stuff at home including my sunglasses and visor. Not surprising seeing that I took an ambien at 11:00 last night and was still pretty drugged up when I got up at 2:30 this morning. Matt and JohnnyV were hoping that I was drugged up enough that I wouldn't remember them calling me Big-Headed Princess. But I remember and they are in so much trouble!!! ;)
Same gig, different name: Ahead of schedule through mile 22ish and then crashed and burned! :) So, my new reason to why I keep falling a few minutes short of my goal is simple: I think I can run faster than I actually can!! Good to know!!! :) :) :) Very cool to have a running partner the whole way! JohnnyV and I ran the first 20 together and then Fonz came to pace me the last 6.2. LOVED having them to run with. I was a pretty pathetic runner towards the end and appreciated Fonz's help. It was also nice to have Rhett at the finish line to keep me steady. I felt pretty icky. Thanks Rhett!!
Still not quite sure what type of running goals I should have while in school. It has been more intense than I thought. BUT I LOVE IT!!!
(My watch was totally messed up. Shows a 5:23 for my 15th mile and that I ran 26.56 miles -- which by the way totally stinks when you are thinking you are going to quit at 26.2.)
BEST PART: Ry and the kids surprised me and came!!!! :) :) :) I was so happy to see them!!!! Watched my SSF run in and then headed home.
Congrats to so many of the FRBers that had stellar races!!! WAHOO!!!! :)
* Eating and sleeping this week was pathetic. Not good ... but what do you do?
