 Run
Comments: well, i just wanted to beat my time from last year and that so didn't happen. i don't know why... i was bummed about it - now, not so much. first mile felt pretty good, even the second wasn't so terrible. by the third, i was like - what? i wasn't enjoying it... not like me at all. that weird foot pain i've been having (had) all last week crept up outta nowhere and made for an interesting time. however, i came in 4th in my age group this year as opposed to coming in dead last in my AG last year - really surprised me... What would you do differently?: i don't know, i took several days off because of my foot pain, so i guess that hurt me...  Post race
Warm down: headed in for my bagel, banana, juice and such - looked around for other Clifton Road Runners, but didn't recognize anyone... i left pretty quickly because i wanted to see how Brianna was feeling Event comments: how can you go wrong with a race so close to the house? supported the track and field team and got a decent workout in that compensated for the overeating i was about to do a few hours post race.

when my alarm went off, i debated about going to the race at all, because i'd had a bad night with Brianna the night before - the beginnings of a cold she has today... ugh!
but i decided to do it and hauled my tuckus out of bed at 7:30, ate a bowl of oatmeal and drank some water, got dressed and left the house.
Bongo was very offended that I had obviously gotten dressed to go running and left him home... poor pooch - he got a workout later though.
was surprised to see SNOW falling when i left the house. hmmm, wasn't planning on that little extra element of fun for today's run.
I live literally 5 minutes from the race site so I got there in a jiffy, found parking and headed over to pick up my race packet.
they obviously didn't care about the whole postmark thing and i picked up my goody bag and ran it back to the car.
i had parked far away to give me a reason to run to warm up so i ran maybe a half mile to get warm.
it was chilly and snowing tiny flakes - the little ones that kind of hurt when they hit your face... yeah, those
