Just a quick post to say that I have some pics from the Richmond Marathon up in the photo album… it’s just the “official” ones for now, but hopefully I’ll have some from uncle Tom, and some from mom to add soon…
Anywho, without further ado, you can find the pics here: 2007 – Richmond Marathon
So, I typically don’t like to be one of those bloggers who simply a link to something interesting he saw elsewhere on the internets, but I happened upon this earlier this morning and, well, it hit too close to home in a few ways, so I had to share…
…So, I present to you, The Nerd Handbook…
…I’m opting for the former today…
Today I successfully ran in the 30th Annual Richmond Marathon… and I have to say, I was pretty pleased with the results…
I have to say, the weather today wasn’t the most cooperative… It was a little chilly… which would have been ok if it wasn’t also damp and windy… Luckily I opted for two shirts and some spandex under my running shorts this morning, so it could have been worse, but I was still kinda chilled at the end… At least it didn’t rain… ;)
Anywho, I ended up finishing the race just under 4 hours (3 hours, 57 minutes, 58 seconds, if you go by my timing chip), which I’m really frickin’ excited about…
I did want to say a big thanks to my uncle Tom and Aunt Phyllis, and my Uncle Jack and Aunt Helen from Richmond, as well as my Aunt Hazel from Floyd who came out for dinner last night and to wish me well, and especially to Uncle Tom who drove everyone around today to cheer me on… And, of course, to my Mom and Dad for coming up and supporting me…
Also, thanks to everyone who called, e-mailed, or texted me to wish me well… I really appreciate it… :)
And now, dinner… :)
