RACE DAY

Against my better judgement, I decided to run a half marathon. Running a full marathon would be downright crazy...which is my next attempt. But I did the half and am happy to live to tell the tale.

It was Dec 14th, 2008...yeah, I'm a little late in telling this tale...and it was the Dallas White Rock. It was a great day, about 50 degrees I think (I have the memory of a goldfish) and quite windy. Luckily I was able to draft off the other runners (not sure what is really meant by this, but it sounds good) and finished with a time of 2 hours 1 minute 8 seconds...29 minutes faster than I had planned! OK, so I set my goal a little low, just so I can be impressed with myself.

I don't believe that's you in the pic. And it's so tiny you can't prove it either.

On the off chance that you did it though, CONGRATULATIONS! That is a really really good time, especially for someone with such short legs.
