::my friend sherri and i at the start of the 20k. it was pouring rain for the first hour of the race. it actually would have felt good, if it wasn't for the sloshing shoes and wet clothes.
sherri and i went our separate ways at the start. i was feeling really good for the first 6 miles, which surprised me because i didn't train at all. somewhere around mile 7, the reality of not training hit pretty hard. i felt pretty miserable for the remaining 5.4 miles. even when i finally saw the finish line, i really had nothing more to give. i finished almost 30 minutes slower than i did last year! wow! i guess there really is something to that training thing. i don't think i will do a long race again without it.
it ended up being a great day overall, and i am just so thankful i am able to run!!

Glad you were able to finish and not get hurt! Sloshy shoes and wet clothes are are never fun, IMHO.

Cute picture! Glad you got out there in the ran and did your best. Not too bad for not getting all of your training in. Great job!
