Well on Dec. 5th (my Birthday) I was doing something I wanted & loved to do!
I ran in the Las Vegas Marathon. I had hopes of doing the Full (26.2 miles) because this was the first marathon I ever did! So I was hoping to see if I could beat my time.
However…..my feet still have tender new skin spots on them from the 60 miles I did last month. And to add to that little problem, I broke my big toe over the Thanksgiving weekend. So I wasn’t sure as to how well I would do.
And for the First time since I have been running marathons ( a year now) some family members came to support & watch me run! So I really wanted to do to well for them. But around mile 9 I knew my feet wouldn’t hold out for the Full. So I choose to finish the 1/2 marathon. I was upset, but didn’t want to make my feet worse by pushing it. It turned out o.k. though….I ended up getting a PR (personal record).
So now I am in training for the P.F. Chang’s Rock-n-Roll Arizona 1/2 Marathon
that’s on Jan. 16th 2011. I hope to have my feet fully healed by then.
And look who was at the running Expo……SUGAR RAY! (still looks good!)
And BRETT MICHAELS was the Finishers concert. He was AWESOME!
And he still looks HOT!
