I (sham)Rocked this bitch!

Happy Almost St. Patty's Day! In honor of the Irish and of course Kim's birthday, why not celebrate with 13.1 miles of pure blissful running?? And that's exactly what the weekend entailed.  I met up with Kim and her parents Friday afternoon and we trucked it down to Va Beach.  And while I have recently decided that Va Beach is overrated and full of bitter and foul memories, it is wonderful for flat, record breaking races.

I met up with Kim and her parents after work on Friday and headed down to the ghetto.  Her parents signed up for the 8K, which they ran on Saturday.  And of course the work out-a-holic in me volunteered to run with Kim's mom so she had company.  Day 1 = 8K Day 2 = half marathon.

And while Va Beach is rarely good for anything else, it is wonderful for flat road running.  Before I knew it, I hit mile 1, then 4, and then 7.  Typically mile 8 is my hardest mile (she's kind of a tough bitch - more than half way, but a daunting 5 to go) and this race was no exception.  Once I hit 9, I knew the rest was smooth sailing.  And I ended up was a new PR! 1:54:38!!! Almost shaved 3 whole minutes off of my last half marathon time.

And while I hate to brag, I shamROCKED that bitch.
