Well, the slowest one where I wasn't swimming 2.4 miles and biking 112 miles beforehand, that is.
My time was a shameful 6:11. A personal worst.
Still, as runs go, this wasn't even a B race. It's all part of getting me ready for the Palo Duro 50K, right?
I did this marathon last year. My time this year was nearly 30 minutes slower.
I tried to be a good sport and warn people about the hill. Hey, that hill, it's not the gift you think it is--slow down!
Everyone ignored me. And those that ignored me, I passed.
Baboo (the man I married who said he would run this "easy" and finished in 4 hours and some change) went back out onto the course and ran the last 6 miles in with me. If your math brain is fried, that means he ran 12 extra miles in addition to his marathon.Then we went to his brother's and my sister-in-law made us pancakes. :-))))))
Now I'm going to shower.
That was marathon #12, I think. I think.
Oh, and by the way: Led Zepelin's Custard Pie makes an awesome song to listen to while running a marathon.
