Armadillo Dash Half Marathon

Held March 2007

I did the Armadillo Dash 1/2 Marathon yesterday morning. It was sunny most of the time, but freezing cold as well. I ran it with Steven, Sonia, Valerie and Chris Felleisen. I dressed up in a devil costume to make the run a little more fun for everyone and it seemed to work. I had on a backpack with a speaker attached to my Ipod which played music the whole time. People kept sayng "Oh, the devil made me do it." since it was Sunday morning I guess.

I had pretty bad shin pains during the first 3 or 4 miles before it finally let up. I think it was from the backpack making me run differently to compensate for the jostling. I don't have my chip time yet, but I finished sometime just under 2hrs. The medals were sharp looking and we got technical t-shirts to go with them. After the race we went to Freebirds and stuffed our faces with some burritos. I definitely want to do this again next year!
