that's right, ladies and gentlemen, i participated in a race today. and, sadly, "trot" is a very fitting adjective. dah well. it was super tough for me, what with loads of uphills that i was NOT mentally prepared for (not that that would've made a difference anyway). thanks to my stellar pacer michelle (who left me in the dust there at the end--way to go, shelly!) and tonya & amanda for the finish line chute cheering as i inched my way in.
it was a beautiful day, and i scored a sweet prize at the end--one free 6" sub from subway. yeah baby.
on a somewhat related note, does anyone else's husband roll his eyes upon realizing that we pay to run in these races? paul, for one, just can't get over the insanity.

Please note the article that I wrote about Marathon Madnesses in the ever reputable Utah Statesman about an umpteenth of years ago. But congratulations on paying money to make your body ache and then get a "free" six inch sub out of it.
I'm with your hubbie on this one. It seems insane that you would pay money for that kind of torture. However, I find myself paying for things like pantyhose, high heels, and Pap smears. It's amazing the things we will do in the name of health, beauty, and fashion!
I'm just impressed that you run at all! Way to go!
What ever you paid ten bucks for a free sub, I'm the sucker who paid ten bucks for nada.
And you can shut it now about your quote un-quote trot. (I know I could have used actual quotes there) You were speedy quick.
um, i don't care if it was a trot. how old is your daughter? i'm just plain impressed.
