Yea, I ran like Hell...

Last weekend was the Run Like Hell Half-Marathon. Not sure what convinced me that less than a month after my marathon and with my intense training of oh, about 10 miles per week, that a half-marathon was, yeah, a good idea. Since I'm looking for a running scapegoat yet again, I'll point the finger at the bag of delicious Halloween candy that I bought early and ate. Yup, didn't bother with the costume but sure went to town on the candy. I actually had to go out and buy another bag of candy to have something to pass out to the real trick-or-treaters last night!

So, the Half wasn't that bad--I finished under 2 hours which I'm considering a victory. I learned why most people take more time off after a marathon, though. Sometimes you don't realize what in your body is still recovering until you run for a couple hours. Good times, good times.

My current post-marathon goal is to not get fat, which my belly full of chocolate finds quite amusing. It's winter right? In Portland right? This dark by 4:30 thing is so not helping me reach my goal.

white & nerdy - don't you know it!
