Even though it included a marathon PR by 6 minutes (Boston qualifying is
getting so close!), this weekend was about more than running my sixth
marathon. I had the chance to…
~Be there for 2 friends’ first halves and another one’s full. Okay, I was actually still running when
they finished, but I celebrated with them afterwards!
~Ask someone if she had seen a banana walk by. This was postrace and I’m pretty sure she thought I was in
that postrace-crazy state. Then
one of my friends walked up in a banana costume (with a carrot not too far
behind). Thanks to friends who
came along to cheer and those who chose to do it in costume!
~Share the world’s largest bathroom with only one other person. We managed to find a house that easily
slept 14 of us with 5 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, several of which were the
size of my bedroom.
~Go for a postrun walk on the beach (which might have involved a stroll
past Tom Hanks’ house)
~Win a hand of Cards Against Humanity with “Gogurt.”
~Enjoy brunch at High Cotton in Charleston.
~Share a bottle of Kiawah wine with travelmates on our one-year Kiawah
reunion (said bottle of wine was obtained our first year as an apology for our
wireless not working).
We’re already planning and looking forward to next year!
