You are here: running in Verona

Not that you get the wrong idea. Running did occur, though the light was not as fantastic on race day. See proof of running below:

 I finished in 2 hours 4 minutes 37 seconds, chip time (the one that's important to me). I attribute my success to my excellent cheerleader, Ohio, who was liable to pop out from behind any corner, any time. She even took video! If I had it, I'd post it so you could appreciate her cheering talents--she might even be amenable to doing cheerleading gigs, I dunno. 
Another thing to clear up: I swallowed the gel, no prob, chased the second one down with warm tea (!) being handed out at a "water" table. I did not wear a wig (wasn't prepped on the dress code), but I did wear the sponge they gave me with my number (see below)--so glad my more experienced sister cleared up the mystery behind that one. Of course, to prevent chafing!

 

 yellow thing is a totally normal, square kitchen sponge

So, anyone want to meet me in Vienna to do the marathon there on April 15?? I mean as a relay team, I have no intention of doubling the Verona distance. Todd, the other American in the Verona race highly recommended it....I'll let you wear my sponge....?
