Ouch!

Hello!

Well, this morning was the 10-mile run, and I finished it! Yay! It sure felt good to get to that last mile. However, as I discovered once I got in the shower, I missed a spot with the Body Glide, and .... ouch! I will definitley remember that spot now! I managed an average mile time of 17:30, but if I figured it right, I think that mile 2 came in at 16:15, which would be my fastest mile ever. Yippeee!

I'm still kind of nervous about the race, but since I turned in a good performance today, I am more hopeful that I will be able to complete it well. I will have to keep in mind that my "official" time for my first half marathon is skewed, as we started about 20 minutes before the actual race start. We did that because the course was only supposed to be open for 3:30, and I was quite sure that I would not be able to finish in that time. I was right! But for the Cowtown, since they are doing a full marathon, the course will remain open for 7:30, so unless I get hurt or something, I will not have that particular worry. All of that to say, for this race, I will begin with everyone else at the start, and my official time will be a lot more accurate as a result :-)

Thanks for all the encouragement!
