Well, I did it!! I completed the Wharf to Wharf race ... and I wasn't the last one across the finish line!! That's all that matters to me, really!!

It was crazy, and crowded. 15,000+ people crammed in front of the Boardwalk is a little bit crazy!! It was a little while before I could even start walking, after the gun went off. And, even longer before I could begin to jog!

I didn't train for hills, and there were a few of them on the route. I also noticed my knee bothering me a little during the run. Afterwards, once I was done, it stopped, so, I think it was probably because of the curves in the road ... it was a nicely graded road, that is fun to drive (as I recall from my teenage years) ... not so great as a running surface.







That's me ... in the salmon colored tank top.



Well, I'm "in" now ... I'm going to get the annual invite back to the race! And, I think I'm going to accept. A few of my coworkers are now talking about maybe doing it next year, so, that will make it more fun ... if we're running somewhat close to each other, anyway!
