thank you!

thank you, Jon and Richard and Pam and Susan and Dianna for the well-wishing and advice on troublesome toes! My goth toe did great during the race, though it wasn't as happy once I was walking around Target in clogs.

I rode in again today. How long until it's a habit? Dunno. It felt good.

Yesterday morning, before the race, I looked at my belly and thought it looked, well, bigger. Then I put on my skort, and yes, I had to adjust the clasp. Damn it, I guess I was living too high on the hog, too many hamburgers and too much beer. But then I went to Target to get some mom-trip clothes, and I was surprised to see that I've gone down a size both top and bottom. Wuhoo!

Stay Fit (unfortunate name)--the off-season, non-official, PFit group--started up on Saturday. I got there late and ended up walking 3 miles on my own. I'm going mostly
for the social interaction--I doubt I'll be doing a lot of long slow distance work with them. So, I didn't manage to do my 8 miles over the weekend. I'm hoping to do it on the treadmill tonight (yuck).

Oh, the results were posted. And, they were different (read: not as excellent) than both what they had posted immediately after the race, and what I had timed myself at. Whatever. According to this new number, I did a 14.53 minute mile, which is a full half minute faster than anything I've done before. I was 12/13 in my age group, and 41/46 women, 69/76 overall. I'm happy.
