14.5 miles  (AP: 8:45) while watching "Imagine That" with the kids. Cute movie. They each took turns using the elliptical next to me. We had fun! 

I feel great!

*** Was going to run a few more miles this evening when Kelli said I shouldn't. But then she followed up her statement with this, "But I know you will anyway ... so ... have a great run!"

SO ... I'm NOT running!!!!!

How do you like that Kel??? (Love ya!)

I am so happy about this race. Although it is not a PR for me, it is a course PR by 5 minutes, and I feel like it was the strongest that I have ever run in a half marathon. (Additionally, it is the first race in years that I haven't used any NSAIDS.)

This morning before getting ready I asked Kelli for some racing advice. She told me this: "Stop over thinking it and just run hard -- if it gets too hard just slow down until you can run hard again." Funny how the most simple advice often is the best.

One of the GREAT things about this race is that I got to run about 9 miles of it with Mark (huans32). He definitely was a great help. His words of encouragement were so appreciated and he kept me honest in my effort.

I had so much fun!!! I am LOVING spending the weekend with my SSF (Smooth), Kelli, and Emily! Also being able to have lunch with Maynard (Brad), Rhett and his beautiful wife, Doone, and many others was a huge highlight! Last night's dinner and frozen custard today with Lowell was FANTASTIC, and, of course, seeing all my FRB friends -- love it, love it, love it!!! I feel so so so lucky!!!

Okay -- off to dinner with the girls!!! YAHOO!!!! :)
