I ran my last training run on Friday night-in the mist and rain.



We ate a great meal of homemade spaghetti last night to fuel ourselves.



This morning I took the obligatory before shot...



and the after...look at those medals!

My time was 2:04:44. My goal was to come in under 2:05. Nothing like coming in at the last minute. My legs are sore but my heart is light. I'm very proud of myself.

I'm just as proud of my husband who ran with me. He probably shouldn't have. You see, he had a boot on his foot (stress fracture) until two weeks ago. He hasn't trained for the last 7 weeks but he managed to pull it out today-for me. His game plan was to run the first 13km with me and then bail. Well, he figured he had gone that far so why not just finish it off right?! Truthfully, I agreed because I needed him to coach and motivate me! We finished within seconds of one another.

I figured this is one of those moments when you just get to brag so I'm giving myself a big pat on the back today.

I'm off to enjoy the last few hours of my weekend.
