Akron Recap

After an exhausting weekend, I am finally home!

I spent most of the day today sleeping trying to shake a cold that was a gift to me from the lovely people of Akron, Ohio.  Seems damp weather and high 50's/low 60's kinda weather doesn't sit well with this Texan.

Thank you all for your prayers! 

I relayed the marathon (26.2 miles) with four other wonderful runners.  My leg of the relay was the second leg and it was 5.7 miles.  I came out of the hand-off much faster than I'd planned and had to pull way back to get myself back on the pace I was shooting for.

I met some wonderful kickrunners from all over the U.S. and Canada.  And I learned some good stuff about my run pacing that will help my coach adjust my training plan as she works to prepare me for my next major race, the Rock 'n Roll 1/2 Marathon (13.1 miles) in November.

It's good to be back home, and I so look forward to the next kickrunners gathering!  What awesomely wonderful, crazy, insane, loving, kind, compassionate, neurotic, encouraging, funny, long-suffering, demented, giving folks runners are!
