First, is it normal to feel a let down? All these 13 weeks of intense focus... Done. Weird.
The day was incredible. Sunny and cold. Froze my ass off (actually, my ears, but who's counting) in the morning waiting for the race to begin. Then we were off! It was AWESOME!!
I had set my watch to run 8/1, but ended up barely using that. Because crowds of people, you were forced to walk a couple of times, so skipped the next walk cycle... that sort of thing. It was WAY easier than I expected it to be.
I was super glad to have had bites of bagel in my running belt. I chewed them down at 7km, and felt like superman. I finished strong!
I did not time myself, so I'll have to wait until the paper is published tomorrow to see if I made my goal of 90 minutes, but I know it was close. Above all else, I'm super proud of myself because I made a commitment, dedicated training, and completed the mission.
I feel like a real live athlete!!

- I'm incredibly happily married. I have a teenage and an adult son, both of whom I adore. I have a Cairn and a Weiner dog, both neurotic in different ways. I love life. I love being healthy. It took me two years to get here. Now I'm here, and I'm looking for the next path. The last one took me to "healthy". The next one needs to take me to "longevity".
