I am pleased to announce that the Half Marathon went well, other than a few hitches, and I am recovering fine… I had two goals in Sunday’s race… 1. To finish… 2. To be alive and well at the finish line… Both were accomplished including getting that invaluable experience that the first one affords. I found out some very interesting things the day of the race.. First of all, I found out that I did not receive everything I was supposed to receive in my sign up packet… The two things missing were my race number bib and my race calculation chip… Both were essential for being officially given a time of completion and thence given a medal of completion… I got neither… But I have photo-chemical evidence that I actually finished the race… You can see me crossing the finish line… I looked pretty good… I looked a lot better than I felt… My (un-official) time was about 2 hours and 40 minutes… Not a bad start, but I will try to run next time instead of walk…. (Ha!)…
Wow… I am really excited with the possibilities here….
Jon for the gang
