We did it again! My father inlaw and I ran the other half marathon in Bakersfield. I was still sore from the Marathon but it was fun. Our time was 1 hr. 53 mins.
Go Lakers!
The other day Eli requested, during a Lakers game, that we all dress up in our basketball stuff (Lakers) so he could play basketball in the livingroom. Isn't he sweet. He even posed for a picture.
Diamond Valley Lake Marathon
It was cold, rainy, hilly, windy and muddy with an occasional
torrential down pour but I finished.

I felt like a crazy person running in those conditions but I really wanted to run my marathon. I was soaked the first 5 minutes of the race and caked in mud. Most of the race was rainy and wet but for a brief ten minutes the sun came out and you could see a rainbow across the whole lake. That glimmer of hope was quickly followed by heavy rain. It was falling so hard I couldn't see in front of me and it actually stung when it hit my face.
My time was 4hrs. 5 mins. 35sec. My goal was to make it under 4hrs. but I didn't quite do it. My split time was 1hr 57min. It was hard to run fast with such strong headwinds and rough muddy terrain. I didn't even run with my Ipod (too wet.)
I did however beat my other goal, which was to beat Paul's marathon time. I shattered his time by three whole minutes. Four months of training really paid off.
