Ran Amuck!
I have newfound respect for California Girl’s determination. Every year for the past three years, we have participated in the Flying Pig Marathon in Cincinnati. Two years ago and last year, we ran as a 2-person relay where each of us ran 13.1 miles. Both times, she ran the first leg which has all of the hills and I ran the second leg which is mostly flat or downhill. This year, they did away with the 2-person relay and replaced it with a standard half marathon so I got to experience the hills in the first part of the course for the first time. They kicked my ass. I finished 10 minutes slower than last year. I felt like I was running up hill the entire time. California Girl did really well and ran her fastest yet. She was several minutes faster than last year despite some additional hills they threw in for the half-marathoners. We are both in good shape but we are still going to have a nice long soak in the whirlpool tub and relax our muscles for a while. And yes, we did have sex the night before the race. And when we got back to the hotel room after the race too although we took a long hot shower first. There may even be some hanky panky in the Jacuzzi later as well.
Wow! Good for both of you!
Have fun in that jacuzzi!
Very good for you two. WHO CARES if you were slower…at least you DID IT!! Congrats!!
Those hills can be killers. Funny, no one asked about the phrase “Flying Pigs.” Silly outsiders.
Congrats on a worrh-while and productive day.
[...] e the alarm went off. We dressed quickly in our running clothes and then it was on to the race. We both did well especially California Girl and were back in the room by 9:30 A.M. [...]
