Today was the 500 Festival Mini Marathon. My goal had been to finish and finish faster than I ever had. I was hoping for a time of 3 hours and 30 minutes. I finish in 3 hours and 36 minutes. I'm happy with that, especially considering the weather. It was between 47 and 48 degrees (F) and the winds were blowing at 22 mph. with gusts to 30. Going to the Speedway, we had a headwind in many places and coming back it was blowing us forward. By that point, I needed all the help I could get. I'm sore and tired now, but I'm supremely happy.
If or when I find any pictures of me from today, I'll either post them or see if I can post a link.
