This past weekend I drove up to Virginia Beach to run the Rock N Roll half marathon. It kind of coincided with my week in my full marathon training schedule that had a half marathon training run. The trip was pretty uneventful. I missed the post race concert of Pat Benetar because of parking issues and managed to hear all of her best hits from my car on the Blvd. I might as well have had my Ipod in.. sheesh. The run went well I guess... I'm never really happy with my performance. Overall I finished in 1:50:15 which equals out to 8:25 per mile. I wanted 1:45:00 but my stupid legs just wouldn't go that fast. I just got my email about my race photos which I am always excited about to see if they got my infamous 'disney' pose.. the answer is NO. Not only did they NOT get my disney pose.. they hardly got me at all. I had 3 crappy images of me at the finish line and that's it. I saw NO photgraphers along the course whatsoever.. come'on people! This is what I got:
Where's WALDO??? There were two others but this was the 'best' one. I'm sorry but that's lame. I paid 85.00 for this shizz and I DIDN'T get to see Pat Benetar and I didn't get any race photos. I did get a cute medal and Shannon, Josh, and Nate managed to get some pretty good photos of Me, Sarah, and Nancy post-race.
Overall we all ROCKED the Rock N Roll half marathon. It was Nancy and Sarahs first experience with the half marathon. Awesome job ladies!
Full marathon training is at it's peak.. meaning 20 mile runs. I have one set for tomorrow. Me, a treadmill, some gummy bears, and gatorade. Sit back folks, I'm going to be here for a while.
That's all for now.. toodalooo
