Austin 3m

Well, the theme of the San Antonio Rock n Roll  marathon  in December was running in the rain. Today, the theme of  the Austin 3m was running in the wind. It was windy all morning, and at mile 12, there was a really strong headwind. (Figures it would be during the last mile, right?)  At that point, I  wondered if I could get an umbrella out and be pulled into the sky, like in the movie Mary Poppins and still get a finisher medal for finishing the race that way.  But  even with the wind, everyone in our group finished. (Yeah! :0) ) After the race, we had enough time to go back to our hotel, shower , change and then it was time to check out and get lunch.  We made a quick stop at IHOP, and at Bucees ,then we where back in San Antonio.  Now I should be doing things like getting ready for work tomorrow, et, but really, mom and I are really just resting our legs , and soon we'll be starting to make plans for the half marathon we will be running in Houston next month.
Personally I can tell I need to start doing some  more speed workouts because I want to get back to where I was. But ,I am blessed to have a group of people who are willing to travel and run with me in the wind and rain- even though they clearly know how crazy my mom and I are . *Hehe*
Kathrynn, her boyfriend  Ralph and Irene learned that if you mention any musical while I am in the car with you, I will end up singing a few bars of a song from said musical if I happen to know the words to the song, even at 6 in the morning. (Yes, I am that friend, and always will be.)
Love you all
