Race is done, and so am *I*!

 Hey guys - thanks for the previous thread - LOVE yall's support! 

Well - it's over.  I did NOT make my 3hr or under goal - my chip time is 3hrs 8min.  I shaved only 8 min off my previous 3hr 16min run time on 10/24.  And yea, I did finish and yea I did finish faster than a mere 2 weeks prior - but I didn't make MY goal. 

AND

I blew out an ankle and knee - so I will be sitting sideline for at least this week, I don't think I will even be able to hit the weights.  I had the energy and the will - my body just gave out on me like the Tin Man in Oz.... I feel like Nipsey Rusell..... 'a-teeny....a-teeny.....' LOL

From here on out - nothing longer than 10K for me and I won't be doing any running other than in the gym until after my b-day next month - my joints and body put me on notice today! LOL 

.......and Lee - that pic was just NASSY!!!!!!!!!! 

Congratuations on completing it, and yes lord listen to your body don't **** up your knees like I did. 

And you have to remember that if your doing a distance run you can't be running for a couple of days up until the race.   Make sure you carb up now that the race is over also.

I learned all this **** the hard way, it wasn't until I joined Team in Training that I got the real do's and don'ts of marathon running.

But the fact remains that YOU DID IT DAMIT !!!!

 Oh - don't worry Lee - I have no CHOICE but to listen to my body, as loud as it's hollerin!!! LOL

I know how it is to miss your personal goal but you still did something major.  Don't sell yourself short girlfriend.  You've still done us proud. 

 Thanks lady!!! I had hoped to beat my friend for the first time since we started all this running shyt - I didn't.....

BUT

the last half we ran, I was 22min behind her...... yesterday - I finished only TWO min behind her......

 - that MAY seem petty  but that bytch has been my benchmark the whole time.  I'm always 5-30 min behind her.  She's 5'5'' and 165lbs.  So to be 5'8'' and 215 and only 2 extra min - SHYYYTTTT - I feel like technically - I beat her ass! LOL

Congratulations on an amazing accomplishment.    From morbidly obese to marathon runner.  That's tremendous.

   thanks!!! I'm pattin myself on the back a lil bitty bit! LMAO

I'm like Denzel in Training Day right now - KING KONG AIN'T GOT NUFFIN ON ME!!!!

........ but without the part of getting shot in the ass and then killed in a drive by.  Yea - everything but that part......

CONGRATS TRINA!  Another GREAT accomplishment under your belt!  YOU ROCK!

Dance with me on your good leg/ankle.

Years ago I said I wanted to be on the commercials with Jarred playing volleyball on the beach.  You ran with him for real.  You're living the dream.  I'm so proud of you.
