Oh yeah, about that relay...

Yeah, we ran the relay. I guess I never updated that. Kelly and I ran a respectable 7.5 mile leg with plenty of hills & GU. I don't remember our time but it didn't matter anyway - we had fun!

The problem with this race was that it left me wanting a half marathon bib BAD. I called my other friend, Mandi, who was training for her first marathon and asked about the half marathon option. I had 3 weeks to train. Lucky for me, Mandi's dad was registered for the race but hadn't been training enough to feel good about the race coming up - I HAD A BIB!

I also had sore ankles. Not just sore, but -oh-my-god-i-can't-run-on-these, ankles. The following week, I had xrays on my foot and doctor recommended rest. The xrays came back fine, I had pulled ligaments and soft tissue bruising. The doctor recommended custom orthotics for my shoes...for $600!
