rock & roll half
a little late, i realize, but the marathon is over! my legs held up, the shinsplints weren’t a problem, and i finished in a time i was pleased with.
my nike+ says that i ran 14.5 miles, as opposed to 13.1, which i thought was odd because when i’ve run on trials with mile markers and the distance on my nike+ has been dead on.
because the trail was so crowded i spent a lot of the run weaving back and forth through the runners; i assume this is why there is a distance discrepancy. either way, yay for being done. i haven’t been able to run this week, but i figure a week off is a good idea anyway.

congrats on finishing the marathon!
Nicole, you are my hero! I have always wanted to accomplish something like that. It truly takes a lot of dedication! Reade gave me the link to your blog and I read it all the time. I just love it and usually laugh hysterically every time. I am also a blogger and will have to send you a link to my blog. Keep writing and I’ll keep reading!! Love Jess
