It's been a while!

This morning I ran in the Seattle's Best 15k race.  It's been a while since I ran in anything.  Here are my results - not too shabby!

Rock N'Roll half... pain and results

So, I'm sitting here on the couch with my foot elevated.  It feels better today but my heel still hurts.  I've been using the crutches we have to get around the house a bit quicker... it helps but is a bit cumbersome... hopefully it will feel good enough tomorrow that I won't have to use them.

here are my official results (cut and past job from the website)...

you have to be aware that there's about three minutes there that I was in a porta potty to trying to get out and in of spandex... I had to wait so long at the start line I had to pee by the  time I got to the first set of porta potties.. that's alright... it's all part of the drill I suppose. 


Overall I have to say I think it was sorta fun.  I think it would have been more fun if I had been able to train a bit more... and my foot hadn't been hurting.  Will I do it again?  Maybe...  I am going to wait until my foot gets better though... I've signed up for the torchlight run but I might have to skip it if it doesn't work out... that's the end of next month...

The final countdown.

We are quickly going downhill to Saturday... I don't quite know if I'm mentally ready... okay, of course I am...  Today I am going to head down to the marathon expo and pick up my number, t-shirt and goodie bag...  there will also be a bunch of vendors so I will check them out... I think I'm going to take a long lunch to do it.

The people from SPIbelt will be there so I am going to go check them out... I have attached a link to one of them for your reference... you use it when you run - keeps your personal items close to your body with no bounce...

Today I also need to figure out the rest of my clothing choices...  I don't want to be one of those people who suffers during the run because of my chaffing... I also plan on keeping my body glide nearby...

Yesterday I used KT Tape to tape my arch... it felt pretty good but it's still a bit sore.. 

oh look at all this product placement... I have decided to do a dual post on Jeneratorrunning and the Jeneratorrant... oh the good life...

I guess I'll see you all at the expo...

go Jen!

I'm sorry I haven't posted any good pictures from the run, but they didn't have photographers. I will try to get a picture of my interview on the news (I was one who just missed the bridge).

I did buy some new running shoes on Sunday so things are looking up!

St. Patrick's Day Dash

I must say this is the first action photo where I don't look like I'm dying. I think that's what we'd call progress.

I know if you're just stumbling upon this blog you might think I look alright... I'm zeroing in on the thighs... better than they used to be but still need improvement.

Here are my stats for the race.

It's been a long time...

But I am back and in top form! I ran the St. Patrick's Day dash today and I didn't die. I did almost get taken out by a stroller, but I am fine.

I will post my time later and recap it all in living color...

Don't let me forget the part about the woman fainting - it was spectacular!

Torchlight Run Photos.

Let's see if this works... I can't take the click and drag the photos from the torchlight run to post them so we'll see if this link works.

Note to self - start working on those thighs.
