did you shoot me yet?
wow...its been almost a week since i updated. its been a pretty good week. i talked..well....not really talked to kym...but we did text back and forth a few times. made me feel better. had dinner with caron....yay gordon biersh....or however you spell it. and she left me a good luck message today..i have a friend :)
so the marathon was today.....and i finished it. not in any respectable amount of time...but i dont really care..i did it..and thats all that matters. the race is long, and in the end, its only with yourself. the first 14 miles werent bad. i was at my pace...i had my groove...i was so much better than that hill....and then came mile 15.....i thought i was going to die....my hips started to hurt at mile 11/12...and i thought about copping out and going the route of the half marathon...i mean what would they do? but then, im me and id be mad at myself if i did that...so i kept going...and going.....and going....i contemplated jumping the barrier and running for the finish line. it was awful...i almost wished i was tired..cause you can manage that...but i wasnt tired...like at all....i was hurting....alot...and it only got worse...like my left knee...since when do i have knee problems? 26 miles will do that to you. had to run around lake merced.....its only like 2 miles...it felt like forever...and a day. hmmm....a car...do you think it would hit me? my ipod finally died...which i guess was a blessing in disguise....cause then i met other people...who wanted to die as much as i did..and we could keep eachother going. i met a girl who goes to kristies med school....such a small world. she called me today too.....make sure i was still alive. :) hanging in there......it will take more than 26 miles to take me down....not much more, but more. at the end i couldnt even sprint across the finish line....cause i would have made it like 5 steps, if i was lucky. but there were men in tuxedos with little tiffany's boxes...that suposedly had a necklace in....unless youre me...i got home and opened it and found.....an empty box....only me. i wanted to cry. so we went back. and i found someone to help me....so hopefully i will hear from her in the next few days and be able to get my necklace.
this thing was totally the womens marathon....everytime there was a bathroom the line was easily 20 people deep....craziness. but it was fun. fun i dont feel like repeating again anytime soon unless i train better.....july.....thats enough time, right?
man im tired...and i took a nap today....needed that...cause i walk like a geriatric (or however you spell it) the red cross guy at the end of the marathon asked me if i was ok...cause was limping on both legs....if thats possible..and im like i just ran 26 miles....im as ok as im gonna be...and i went to get my bagel...best half of a bagel i ever ate...and i ate it like a savage. spent the rest of the afternoon with brian....so nice...so in love....yay for being taken care of.....i think id still be walking up the stairs by the parking lot if he wasnt here. big smile....lots of love.....now must sleep...yay work in the morning....boo pain....yay for sarah pushing me around in a chair.
