It was a chilly morning (40 degrees) last Sunday.  Perfect running weather.  Vicki and I ventured to the start of the race, with Eric as our moral support.  I had my ipod for this race, a first for me. I figured that I may as well try it and see if I like running with music, and as it turned out, it was great. It really took my mind off the run.

I was really happy with how I did considering the fact that I had barely trained.  My goal was to finish, but of course, the minute I started, my competitive side took over and I had to push myself.  All of that is well and good, except for the fact that I was about to get onto a plane to Singapore and sit for 18 hours - not a good move when recovering from a race.

Here is one of Vicki and I with our well-earned medals.
