A little more

Here I am with R and some random Scottish guy.  We are running through my neighborhood at about mile 7.

My legs are a bit better today. It’s still quite a challenge to walk downstairs, especially to the subway, but I am more AWAKE!  My boss insisted that I bring my finisher’s medal in today and she enjoyed seeing it.  The medal isn’t meaningful to me, but it’s fun that other people like it.

Yesterday it was a huge struggle to get here.  On the first train, I got a seat and that was good.  On the second train I didn’t and I was juggling a travel coffee mug and my lunch.  I was trying to find a place to lean, but some guy was in my way.  I didn’t realize how obviously I mouthed, “Mother Fucker!” at his back, but it worked in my favor because someone immediately offered me a spot by the door, where there is a wall to lean on. 

Last night I watched the professional women’s marathon race that I had recorded. It amazes me that anyone can go so fast for so long.  All I can say is WOW!
