The Run

Mom and I ran another 1/2 marathon. It was the first we have done in a year and a half. It was the hardest, but by far the most fun we have had running one. I laughed the entire mile 10, and really had to tell myself to get through the last 3.1 miles. We came in at a quick 2 hours 57 mins. I couldn't walk for a week after, and I am completely and totally rededicating myself to my training for the Fall-a-thon! So far I am doing great. I went out on a 4 mile run this evening, and had to deal with every smoker in the neighborhood out puffin and blowin. I also had to encounter all of the neighborhoods nasty trash cans out by the curb. Including ours that has Shanna's rotting hamburger in it. I almost died when I caught a whiff of it at the end of my street. I am honestly embarrassed about it and have never looked more forward to the trash being dumped tomorrow. Disgusting. I think it would have been healthier if I would have sat at home on the couch with Wendy's french fries than going out and being exposed to second hand smoke and E.Coli on my run.
