I'm finally home
What a week.
Too much for one post, that's for sure
Many stories.
And to top off the vacation was a return trip that took 2o hours and an unplanned night in Phoenix because the stupid people at SW wouldn't let us switch to from a connecting flight to a direct flight even though there was space on the direct flight AND they knew our flight into Phoenix from SD was delayed.
But such is life.
As for the run, I didn't quite make the 5 hour goal. I hit the 21 mile marker in under 4 hours so all I had to do was run 12 minute miles the rest of the way to hit that mark. But for some reason, on the streets of SD last Sunday, that 5 hour mark didn't seem important any more. Instead, I just wanted to have fun. And that is what I did. I walked for a while with some of my KC team mates. I talked to people along the way. I laughed. I joked. I got passed by a man wearing a speedo and sombraro and nothing else. Good times.
I crossed the finish line in 5:05:04. And that was good enough for me. I shaved 15+ minutes off my PR (set at Disney in January) and ran almost 20 minutes faster than OKC 5 weeks ago.
Pictures and stories from the streets (and yes, bars) of SD to come.
It's just good to be home!
