OK, so I am very jazzed about the Red Sox winning their 2nd World Series in 4 years last week. But I was even more psyched about finishing the Marine Corps Marathon in a near PR time of 3 hours, 52 min and 51 sec. )about 30 seconds off my 2006 Boston Marathon pace).
It serves as a reminder to me that if the weather is perfect, and if I eat lots of spaghetti and meatballs the night before, and if I watch the Red Sox win Game 3 of a World Series until midnight the night before my 4 a.m. wake-up call, then anything is possible! Seriously, man, I slept 4 hours, 'prepped and commuted' for 4 hours, then ran for 4 hours. Yikes.
BUT, I was well-hydrated, well-fed, and ran at a blistering (literally) pace. All-in-all, it was a fabulous run, I felt great and am looking forward to possibly returning to Austin in Feb, ahead of the 2008 Boston Marathon...perhaps actually qualifying for Boston before I turn 65!
...stay tuned!
