I've decided to change the name of my blog to "Sad and Neglected". . .
So, it's been a while, needless to say, and a lot has happened! And rather than dump it all in one post, I'm going to do a series of posts, cleverly entitled "Let's Go Back". Brilliant, I know.
First stop, the McDonald's Half Marathon! Wow, what an experience! I can definately see how people get addicted to these things. Friday night we drove over to Richmond to spend the night before the big run on Saturday. Upon our arrival, we made our way over to the race expo, to get Jonathan's bib and free race t-shirt. The expo was very cool to me, since I had never been to one before - they had all kinds of running paraphernalia! Next, we found the nearest Carabbas to get in our recommended amount of "carbo-loading" AND finished off a desert called "Chocolate Dream". Now, we may have taken the recommendation and run with it a bit, but hey, we weren't looking for a PR, just a finish.
As you know, I unfortunately was not able to run in it, but Jonathan was, and he did a great job. He said that it was pretty tough, seeing as up to that point the farthest we had run was 8 miles, but he gutted it out and finished in 2:04:52! So proud of him and his accomplishment!!!
