Oh, I have to admit, I stole that idea. From JustMarion, I think. But I liked it so much because I loved those shoes--sooooo much. They're the first shoes I first called myself a runner in. And yet, sadly, after that race, I can't run another mile in them. So that was kind of my funeral picture of them. Thanks so much, Nikes, but it's so long for you and me.  |

 Nothing like your race, Mike!
Training definitely paid off, though--I had run the distance twice (once in 2:07, once in 2:04). I generally perform worse, not better, under race conditions, so I was thankful to see that this time I had managed to pace myself, keep hydrated, and manage my race well.
One day I'll run the 26.2 . . . one day . . . |

Then I started running and I got the crazy idea that maybe I could actually run thirteen miles . . . I got my first medal! Will I do it again? I can’t wait!

I have so enjoyed following you along this HM trail, Karina (You'll always be VixiDu to me!) Congrats again on a wonderful race, and thank you so much for the great report - you've eased my anxiety ... a little.
