Today was See Jane Run's I Run For Chocolate and Champagne Half. Yay! I PR'ed! Garmin read a moving time of 2:17, but the total time was 2:18:55 or something like that. The official race results will be posted tomorrow. The clock read 2:20:xx when I crossed. And if that turns out to be my official time I'll be a bit bummed as my PR was 2:20 on the dot. I'm hoping that that's just the gun time.
After the race I met a really cool girl. She was stretching and I told her congrats and she wished me the same. And then I asked her if she knew where the chocolate was and then she and I went in search. Hehe. I felt like I was in pre-school again making friends. Her name is Allison and she's actually thinking of or maybe doing the Nike half in October! The one where I'm doing the full. As we were walking to our cars my shins starting tightening up. It was horrible and I wanted to die. Thank God for Allison because she had us do some stretches and it totally made my legs feel much better.
Then I drove to my friend Claudia's house just a few blocks away. She and I have been friends since the fifth grade. What is that? 10 or 11 years old? Yeah, we're 37 now. She and I havent hung out in about a year so it was fun just talking and catching up. I think I put the racing seed in her mind and told her that if she ever wants to do a 5K that I'd do it with her.
I'll write a full race report soon. For now I just plan on grubbing on tons of food for the rest of the day.
