La Jolla Half Marathon Update

Well, I made it. It wasn't pretty. If you want to know how it went, watch the clip below. I think my emotions were almost identical to doctor Frankenstein's in this scene.... same order and everything. The hill that IS miles 6 and 7 of that course are where I was pounding at the door, begging to be let out.



Also, notable comments heard during the race:
  • Hey!... you have a lady bug on your tushie... that is good luck!
  • Traffic controller telling a guy in a car trying to cut through the line of runners - When I tell you to go, you gotta go ("Gotta" sounded like James Brown)
  • Guy on roof/balcony with a white beard, wearing a santa's hat (really) near the Marine Room overlooking the last mile - "That is a wicked mean hill ain't it"

So, what was your time? The website page with the results comes up blank ... probably like the look on your face later that evening when your pain turned to numbness. Congratulations, you've run at least one more half-marathon than I have!!!
