It was so much more fun this year! We stayed in a downtown hotel and didn't have to wake up at an obscene hour. We bundled up and took a cup of hot coffee to watch the start of the Full and then we went back to the hotel for a nice breakfast. We had plenty of time to get ready Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-27106701751914634382015-10-19T13:06:32.286-04:002015-10-19T13:06:32.286-04:00Hi Katie!

In fact, it actually seems like it might be more enjoyable at times ;-) Loved the bourbon thing! When I ran shamrock in VA Beach, the spectators had tables of tiny cups of beer, and I surprised myself by taking one. It's just carbs, right?!?!

I'm still waiting to break 3:30. <br /><br />I ended up totally ditching the LB half; I didn't even go to packet pick up because I didn't want to have a shirt that was going to mock me. ;) Race day was over 90 degrees and the heat Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-70790867056686940992015-10-18T21:33:19.522-04:002015-10-18T21:33:19.522-04:00I love the idea of run/walking a race!

I used to run a race every month in the fall and spring, but this year has been a bit busy personally with a long-distance move, buying a new house, and I've also experienced some knee pain. I'm signed up for a half marathon next April, and haven't signed up for any races - I was thinking I'd wait until I was further along in my training, Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09613649006062725520noreply@blogger.com
