My Very First.....DNF!

It was a hot one and I completely psyched myself out...so I dropped out at the halfway point of the marathon. My first race that I didn't finish. I wasn't injured, thankfully, so I will keep on running and training for my next 'thon, but my pride is a little wounded. Kieran took some good pics of the event, I will post them later. I am off to shower and lick my internal wounds for a bit....then I will get over it and start all over again.

Half a marathon is nothing to sniff at! Congratulations! You'll have better luck next time. And it was really hot today... better to know when your done than to push it, get dehydrated, or hurt.

And you'll be happy to know that our firewall software has labeled your blog adult content. Must have been the "licking your wounds" comment.

I know you are hanging your head low...but you shouldn't. It's really not about the race....it's about what it takes to get there. The race is just the icing on the cake....the part that makes it all worth while. And what in the world is happening that it's 80degrees in mid-October AGAIN! I think you rock! Be proud! Nic
