The Dark arts team is a talkative group-they are approaching 2400 posts!


That's a lot of talking!

It certainly is...I think that I will wander over and see who is responsible for all that chatter.

I did my first run workout for the month...I really wish that I found running enjoyable.

I took each dog, Brook and April, on a one mile neighborhood loop.

...it turns out that my loop is a little more than a mile, which means that I am not as slow as I thought I was. 

I suppose that for someone who rarely runs I am not particularly slow, but in High School I ran a 5:46 mile and a 12:01 2 mile.  It makes me feel like I am really out of shape.

That's ok with me. That is one of the best pictures that has been taken of me in the last 15 years ever.

I am much slower than I used to be, too. Good job on getting your run in!

World. Of. Pain.

This is, by and far, my worst marathon experience ever. I've got hyperneutremia and sun poisoning.

I seriously want to crawl into a whole and die.

God love Trixie and Whizzzzzzzzzzzzz for keeping my spirits up when I really wanted to freakin' throw up.

Let's just say...at MILE TWO my calf was seizing. Didn't let up for the next 24 miles. The salt/water/gatorade that I took to try and help my calf caused the hyperneutrmia.

And then I forgot to grab the gels for the back half of the race from my mom.

And thus began my downward spiral of nutrition.

About 5 tablespoons of salt, 4 trips to the medical tents along the way, an three blisters the size of watermelons, I finished in a pathetic 6:32:24.

My split time last year when it was HOTTER and the race was canceled was faster than my half split here. It did get warm out there today, nothing I couldn't physically handle. It just zapped the sheeeeit out of me.

I'm just thoroughly disappointed. I have a sub-5:30 and I am outright miffed that I have yet to be able to achieve it.

And Bill...I've got a nice lil' photo for you whenever I get around to uploading picks.

Whew, Barb.

I'll say this... you totally did HTFU.

When the physical pain goes away, you'll look back and truly appreciate this one.

Barb

Way to stick it out-even though it was painful and frustrating.

Make sure to fit some R&R into your schedule.

Congratulations Barb! 

I've been there with those types of marathons.  Give yourself a little rest.  And be proud.  You've accomplished something that 99% of the population will never do.

Well, I am in my car and the car is in the lot.

It turns out that my random running route turned out to be almost exactly 2 miles.  I did add some extra loop-t-loops in the school parking lot to get the last 3 minutes in.
