I ran it.
4:11:22.
This was not only a new PR, but a PR by 20:01.
Freaking A!
Excited. Stoked. Ecstatic. Thrilled. Happy. Moved. Proud.
I'm also exhausted.
But it's so worth it.
I had more fun at this race than I have ever had at any of the multiple races I've run.
An awesome race report and tons of pictures will be coming your way later this week. For now, I'm going to enjoy my last evening in town with my mom and friends before heading back to Nashville (where I'm hoping it's nowhere near as cold as it is here.)
