Oh, what will this year bring?

And now I’m a half-marathoner

Just a brief post to say that the Marine Corps Historic Half-Marathon is over and I, not only completed it, but feel like I ran it as well as I possibly could have. I ran the entire thing, the only slowdowns were the water stops (just haven’t learned how to slurp on the run yet). The last hill was a killer but I got through it with a  little help from a Marine. But I’ll tell story tomorrow.

 I’m waiting for the times to be posted on the Results page (bib 3342) – not that it matters (the goal was to finish) but I’d still like to know.

One quick story: Around mile 8, a woman near me said to her two friends as they ran, “Boy, a marathon sure sounds like a bad idea about now, doesn’t it? This is enough! Running a marathon would be crazy!”

Crazy, you say? Nah, at that point, it seemed doable. Still does. Even sounds like fun. I can’t wait for the Marine Marathon in October. Bring it on, baby!

Yep, I’m that crazy.
