Runners Rule

Chica!

Where did you go? Vacation? Not much too miss - Big DNF for me...was way way WAY too hot for me to handle. I knew by mile 7 it was not happening. Saw my husband at mile 8 or so and told him that I would finish up the first loop only (they have two races..one loop = 1/2 marathon and then you continue on for one more for the full). It was SO SO hard realizing this was not meant to be but there was no way I could have come anywhere near my goal. Many many folks down on the course and about 30+ ended up in the emergency room.

But no worries...my husband went on marathonguide.com Monday morning and found another race for me!! We are going to Vermont for the Vermont City Marathon Memorial Day weekend! I am SO PSYCHED!!! I did not really kill myself in last week's race so recovery was minimal.

Of course today it was about 55 degrees here...I even wore my gloves for this morning's run!

How come you are not running?? Recovering from your race?

Happy Mother's Day!
