Oh, It Hurts

Everywhere. From the waist down. My back is just a bit sore from leaning over to compensate for my hurty hips, but everything else from the waist down just hurts. I guess that's what I get for attempting a half marathon with no training. Yup, you heard my insanity. The last time I really ran was a year ago this weekend at the 2007 half marathon.

You remember that one, right? The one where I hadn't run in 10 weeks because I was pregnant!! This is starting to look like a bad habit. This time my excuse is no sleep due to the 24/7 nursing baby.

Actually, I take it back. I'm not making excuses. I finished a half marathon. I'm pretty dang proud of the fact. One day maybe I'll be able to say I ran it, but for now I'm great with just finishing.

Really, I didn't do that bad, comparatively. Only 10 minutes slower than last year. And I never did say I was going to run fast, just finish.

Well, finish I did. Got a neat new shirt to wear around the house, cuz i'm not putting my running shoes back on for a bit. The feet hurt, too.

and by the way, Sarah and Sherlynn did an AWESOME job!!
