Halfway There
October 14, 2009
Success! On Sunday, I crossed the finish line at the BAA Half Marathon. Despite the fact that my IT band was not the least bit inclined to finish, I made my way to the finish, celebrated with my parents and my roommate and then headed off to watch the Red Sox play the Angles at Fenway…
OK, let’s stick with the positive part. At least I was a winner on Sunday!
(I’m still bitter about the Sox. I will be until April.)
I’ll be jotting down my thoughts about the actual run within the next day or two, but trying to form thoughts that actually make sense has been difficult since Monday morning. It has been proven that people who run long distances often become more susceptible to colds or illness in the days following the run – and that definitely happened to me. As such, I’m loopy right now. Thank you, cold medicine.
That said, pictures are worth thousands of words, right?

Clearly I was alone in my Red Sox love growing up.
