Crossing the finish line!
On Sunday September 4th I ran the Rock 'n Roll Half Marathon in Virginia Beach. There were 14 bands playing along the course and the energy was amazing. There were sooo many people running - more than 20,000 - and the start was very crowded. I took off at a pretty good pace once I got out of the crowds but started having terrible knee pain around mile 5. Ouch! There was no way to stop running in as little clothing as I had on so... It hurt pretty bad for the next 2 or 3 miles but then the legs were pretty much numb and I just kept going until the 13.1 mile marker (see the picture above!). The pain was pretty excruciating after the legs stopped moving at the finish and I was pretty much crippled for the next couple weeks, but not so much I couldn't make it to the beer garden for a couple of oat sodas first.
The whole trip to Virginia Beach for Labor Day weekend was a blast. Made it out for a night of drinking, limboing, frisbee and horseshoe throwing, skinnydipping in the Atlantic, dancing with Chad's beautiful sister, and late night fishing with sexy Chad before the race. And then had an awesome day out on the beach and on Chad's boat for naked wakeboarding after the race. Check out pictures from the trip at:

That's all for now. Will write again soon.
