A Hot 13 Miles
I ran the Evansville Half Marathon today on an unseasonably hot October Sunday. It was about 85 degrees when I finished--the heat was killing everyone. I ended up with a slower-than-I-hoped-for time of 2:34:14, having to walk about 2 1/2 of the 13 total miles. Regardless of my time, I am just glad to have achieved the goal of running and finishing this race. It has been a motivator to get me in shape and I feel great!
Thanks Chris for dragging me out at lunchtime all those years ago and introducing me to running, and thanks Josh for a short conversation that prompted me to try this race. And Amy, thank you for following me around all morning, fighting roadblocks and traffic to cheer me on in the race. I am so blessed that God has given me such a wonderful wife as you.
And now it's time for a hot shower...
