All Hail the Running Rabbit

Yes, you read that correctly. All along the route I heard, "great job, Running Rabbit," "go for it Robbie," "looking good Robin." And I would just mutter, "rabbi. It says rabbi." Once-in-a-while, I heard someone say "Shalom," which I though was pretty funny.

Well, faithful readers -- I did it! I am now a marthoner. I am also a very, very sore marathoner. I will go into more details tomorrow because, as you might guess, I am one very tired girl. However, let's just say that I'll be coming home with a slight limp. I really strained my IT muscle. That is the iliotibial band that runs from the hip and extends to the outer side of the tibia. It started to give be problems around mile 14, which made for a very long race! Rest, ice, and anti-inflammatories should help, but I'll be pretty sore for a few days.

It was an amazing day and I am still overwhelmed by what I've been able to accomplish. The Tiffany finisher's medal, while really cool, is just the icing on this cake. I did something today that only 1% of the population does, albeit a bit slower :)


I'll give full race details tomorrow and will post pix soon!
