Stinky. As I enjoyed my mere 3.1 miles, I was thinking about you all running 13.1 and was so thankful I wasn't running so far because it was TOO HOT. TOO HOT + off-diet is definitely a recipe for bad things. I hope you can convince Gina to do another race, maybe a Thanksgiving 5k?

I've been...Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh! I've been waiting for your report to get the down and dirty details. Could it be any worse? I'm so very sorry you had a beyond crappy race.<br /><br />Might I blame the unexpected heat for some of how you were feeling? Finishing in the hot sun in 68 degrees is not ideal at all, and after that turn around at mile 7, there was no shade, but you already know that.<br /><br />I'm not sure of your race schedule before April, but here's to some Flying Pirate redemption. Can't wait to see you again.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02219457885959637135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732829991335734426.post-16562532542543585752012-10-16T14:20:09.124-04:002012-10-16T14:20:09.124-04:00You look fab in the picture.
