Priceless

So my race went great. I thought there for awhile I was crazy and what a idiot I am to run these things. The temp dropped drastically. The wind came out of nowhere. Well it felt like the north but I'm not sure. It was 51 and winds were 15-25mph. Official results aren't up yet on the site but I have 2:05:44. Splits were
7:58:63
7:52:22
8:00:79
8:17:60 *side ache* wtf?!
7:37:70 wtf? I guess felt great after side ache recovery and narrowly missing squashing a squirrel.
7:54:84
7:50:96
7:52:52
8:04:38
8:05:49
8:43:69 had to walk and mentally regroup.
8:15:41
8:09:10
8:26:21
8:18:28
4:16:97 yeah crappy last 1/2 mile I was just glad to be done. I should have pushed more but I was happy with my time and tired.

It's all kinda a blur. I don't know how people recount an entire marathon in such detail. I took my first ice bath. It wasn't really so bad. It actually felt good on my legs. And I had yummy coffee and a towel around my shoulders to keep me warm.

One more month of hard training and it'll be time for the marathon!

The rest of the weekend:Friday went to Knox St and Drama Room. Saturday morning had breakfast at Breadwinners. I love their biscuits and gravy. Watched the Texas, Texas Tech game. Dinner at Buca De Pepo sp? with Ron and Andre. Race Sunday morning. Nicki and I took Chuy to the dog park at at White Rock Lake. It is so cute to watch all the little doggies running around making new friends. After my bath and shower we met up later for lunch. The rest of the day was resting on the couch with food, beer and movies. Ahhhhhh.....

    I have been noticing a sort of trend lately on the internet. And admittedly, maybe when you are looking for something, you have more of a tendency to find it.
    Hey, you have a great blog here! I'm definitely going to bookmark you!

    I have a health insurance site/blog. It pretty much covers health insurance information.
