Ran the Marine Corps Historical Half Marathon with my running buddy from MD. I didn't race, so I didn't put this as a race entry. I just ran with my friend and we talked and caught up and took time to pet the minature ponies. If I can get RAD to help me out, I'll get a picture of the ponies on here for y'all to enjoy. They were just around mile 6, and too cute to pass up. 
MR. ran the race. He had a goal to finish under 2 hours. His actual chip time was 2:00:28. He was close! Maybe next time I'll race with him and see what we can pull off.
My friend and I trotted in around 2:12. We wore sock puppets as an experiment to see if they'd help us run faster. At her last race, there was an older gentleman who had long socks on his hands (in an effort to stay warm), and he kicked her trash. So we wondered if it was something in the power of the socks, and made sock puppets to wear to see how it went. 
I'm not sure they gave us any kind of advantage, but it was fun. We had to take them off after the first mile due to sweaty sock puppet hands, so the sock puppets became sock tails for the rest of the race, until we put them back on again to cross the finish line.
We got to high five the base commander of Quantico as we crossed the finish line. He got a sock puppet high five from me... and just in case you're wondering: my sock puppet was a pirate :-) |
