When I was listing all the stuff about myself, I forgot to say that I ran a marathon last week, duh, silly me. I really don't feel that different except for the achy knees. Plus I'm very hungry and tired, but that could be due to, ahem, other things (PMS, anyone?).
I ran the Disney marathon and it took me forever. Well, not forever, but six hours and fifteen minutes, which is a really long time. I had no idea it would take me that long but my knees sort of had other plans, as well as the rest of me. I had a terrible training run of 23 miles that "only" took me 4 hours 45 minutes, so I figured even if I tanked the marathon it would still be around 5 hours 15 minutes. Nope, an hour later. I used to post on some runner's sites, but I've been embarassed to post there because I can't believe my time. I know it was my first marathon and I swore that I didn't have a time goal, but I really did.
That's probably enough bitching, because I do know that it's a big deal to finish one at all. Disney was great...running through the parks was amazing because as much as I don't want to, I do buy into the Disney "magic."
Oh, my kid is awake. I will return to blog another day!
