I third/fourth/fifth/tenth V's awesomeness!

As for my running...

I ran the Seattle Marathon's half marathon this Thanksgiving weekend. I cut 13 minutes off my time from a few years back when I ran it after recovering from my hip problems and finished in 2:19 (usually I run the full, and I'd got my time down to 4:20ish, but the second half is pretty flat). Not awesome, but still good for a hilly half 3 weeks after an Ironman! I was more sore than I expected for a few days afterward, finally back to walking and feeling normal today. I am so glad I didn't run the full. It was also pretty wet and starting to get windy, though the temperature was nice.

Next stop... I don't know. Enjoying the holidays and winter running when I'm in the place where winter actually happens, then base building, I guess. Thinking about running the Austin Marathon or likely the Half, February 19, since part of my time is in Austin. Running in the winter there should make it bearable.
