For no good reason other than we needed a reason to keep running after the Tri,
Kim, Jess, Amy, Linda and I decided to run a marathon as a relay team... so the training continued (somewhat begrudgingly) all the way up to race day... which was quite a day...
The problem with this particular team is that none of us like mornings so we managed to be late to the race (I think this was the first one we were actually late for, typically we sprint up to the start line just in time to hear 3, 2, 1....) today however as Jess and I got out of the car in the ramp we heard 3, 2, 1.... oops... but we prevailed... it was a little cold and we had some unplanned drama, we felt a little like impostors running with the folks who were out there to run the entire marathon (passing them didn't feel quite so good), but we finished in under our goal time and got some new personal best times so it was a success overall...
Marathon spectators are the best, between the signs, the cheering and the laughs you get along the way running somehow seems just a little bit easier... and of course as we already know, its all about the free bananas :-)
