Well, the big race weekend finally arrived and I'm very glad to say ITS OVER! And I won! Just joking :) It was actually a fun experience - mostly because the weather was so awesome - and I'm glad I did it, blisters and all. I may never walk fully upright again, but, hey, how important is that really anyway? I finished with a time of 2 hr. 13 min. and 32 seconds, which came out to average 10 minutes, 12 seconds per mile and brought me in 648th out of 1534 people. If anyone requires actual proof, you can go to www.mardigrasmarathon.com and check the results for yourself :) My bib number was 4012. Unfortunately, I was alone so I don't have any pictures to share, but considering how rough I was looking afterwards, that might be a good thing. Thanks to everyone for your encouragement and support, in particular: Jason, for listening to all my griping for the last 7 months of training and not letting me quit, and Jessica and Charles for hosting a sleepover for the kids so I could go. Hope everyone else had a great weekend, too!
