Friday, July 4th 2008
Woot! I rocked the CENTER last night in the Firecracker 5000! I ran an average 8 minute 6 second pace. Splits:Mile 1: 8:24
Mile 2: 8:17
Mile 3: 7:56
Last lap page: 6:49
Yeah baby!
I found Marie at the beginning with her husband and son. We hung around at the start then left our husbands (and her son) so that we could move up to the 8.5 min/mile pace area. I figured that would be about right with just having run a marathon, and actually being rather tired and not f...

Fortunately I like a challenge!
This officially gets me into the Marathon Maniac club.

Walked to breakfast, then over to the sewing store to get some iron on letters for my marathon shirt. I want my NAME on my boobs, dammit! I want to hear "Go Tory!" a million times!After that, hopped over to the pet store to get toenail clippers for Dash. Then over to the thrift store where I picked up a Nike running shirt, a cheap Nike golf jacket thing I can toss away at the marathon, and a funky yellow shirt that is very different. I like different 'cause I am.
Poor Dash. ...
