Three hours and 40 seconds. That was my official chip finish time for the Baltimore Half-Marathon on Saturday! I was pretty excited about it, especially since an announcer said my name and time on the loudspeaker as I crossed the finish line. The best part of the race was the people cheering us on. Throughout the course, they lined the streets with cups of beer, gummy bears, Swedish fish and good cheer to encourage us. Seeing that community spirit was a wonderful experience.
A shout-out to Lynn, Sophie, Melanie, Anne and Andrew, who all ran the race! Lynn, Sophie and I carbo-loaded in Baltimore's Little Italy on Friday night, and rewarded ourselves Saturday with a beer sampler at a local pub and then dinner at Oceanaire. It was a very fun weekend, and I'm ready to sign up soon for the next half-marathon! First up, though, the Arlington walking marathon on Saturday -- 10 hours, 27 miles. Bring it on.
