Practice Twice

Christina with an awesome sign

We did it! This morning Sharon and I ran the half marathon, and although we didn’t finish top three, together we crushed it. Only in the fourth or fifth mile did I momentarily lose focus and jabber about Gordon Ramsay. Lucky for us, Salaam, who works at Christina’s Ice Cream, appeared on the horizon at that exact moment and it quieted me. Salaam was in elite form, in yellow hardcore glasses, and we called out to him.

The Run to Remember route on top my ten mile training route on bottom

Training for this was the most important. The route on top was the 13 miles today, and the bottom is my 10 mile training route. The entire time we followed Memorial Drive along the Charles River was very familiar to me; a familiarity that helped me pace myself.

  1. Please give a shout and hug for the sign-age. Sorry they missed our blazing fast Comcast like speed! I am so proud of you! I think that the spirit of the Eggman got you through the race. I have never seen anyone so zealous to order platter w/eggwhites and xtra rojo, whites and opp other than he. Devilish!

  2. Snorkel, you snorked it up and out and right on through!!! Congrats on finishing and the best ever victory success of a spring!
