i did it!!! it was cold and windy and pouring rain for about 2 miles and drizzle the rest but i persevered!! not the best time but hey its ok! i still managed to run it all, sans about 1/4 of a mile early on. after mile 3 i seem to get stronger. anyway, dont have my official chip time, but it should be about 74 min. i'll take it!!!!
oh and as far as rest goes fahgetaboutit! i am about to jump in the shower and head to the bbq cookoff (biggest in the nation) and drink a few beers with friends!!
