…a week late.
Luke was here this weekend, so my celebration, if you want to call it that, was delayed until Friday.
So, good work husband. Body oil and foot creme were basically the perfect gift for a girl about to run another half marathon.
Which I did, yesterday morning. I ran the whole thing this time, aside from hydration stops, and I’m not too sore today, and it was altogether a much better experience than the last one. But that may also have something to do with the fact that I did things for the rest of the day instead of lying in bed feeling sorry for myself.
I really enjoyed this race, aside from the last mile or so which were pretty much just a mental battle. Around the 5 mile mark, at which I normally start to drag a bit, I ran past an older man spectating in a Texas A&M button down shirt. He had a portable stereo which was blasting the Aggie Band playing The Strategic Air Command. Basically, this was the most motivating thing ever. Unfortunately I had to stop for a bathroom break which raised my time a bit, but, whatever. I don’t claim to be that fast anyway.
So, half marathon number two done. I’m planning on at least one more this year and a full marathon either in December in Dallas or January, in Houston again.
