weekend workout

i had a fun and busy weekend but i didn't even take my camera out of the bag. dang it. sorry.
flat tire on the way to sc friday night, patched with medical tape (no joke!) and got on our way.
moved boxes and boxes and bins and laundry baskets and bags and furniture and bikes, plus some scrubbing and rearranging all day saturday to get friends into their new house. around 7 pm one of them mentioned that if i planned on seriously running the race on sunday, that i really should be taking it easy....oh yeah, should have thought of that earlier. guess we'll just see how it goes...

turns out i'm so tough that all the moving strain didn't even phase me! i ran wharf to wharf in less than 50 minutes!
don't know my actual time because i'm not sure exactly when i crossed the start line, but i ran hard and fast (for me) and it was super fun. 15,000 people is a nasty crowd to force your way through, people were not lined up according to their pace, it was really frustrating in the first few miles. i was too short to see the extent of the crowd, but i bet it looked pretty incredible. there were bands all along the route, and people cheering and spraying us with hoses, it was tons of fun and if i remember to sign up before it fills up next year i'll definitely try to run it again, even faster!
bridget spotted me at the starting line, i chased her for a while, but she's so fast and nimble i couldn't keep up through the crowd for long. i think she finished in about 45 minutes. wow. colette and clay ran it too, they were awesome and had fun. we'll be out there again for sure.
and we ate at dharma's twice! mmmmmmcoconuttapiocammmmm.
pinecrest this weekend!! i'll for sure take pictures, i know reading without pictures is a bore.
