Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner!

I've been a poor blogger lately. Things have been hectic as I'm trying to get things done at work before I head to Baltimore on Thursday. Note to self: planning a vacation in October with 2 big special events to prepare is not the best idea.

Anyway, last week was a lighter workout week for me, not necessarily planned, but I just got so busy that I missed some workouts. I had two days of complete rest, which was probably good in preparation for the upcoming marathon.
Totals:
Run: 42 miles
Swim: 1750 yards (only got in one swim :( )
Bike: 0 (oh well)

The good news about last week is that Dan and I ran in a 5 mile race in Cedar Park on Sunday, and I won! I was the first female finisher in 33:09 (6:38 pace). This is one of our favorite races that we run every year, and I've never won it before....so it was a great surprise! Here's a picture of me with my hardware. :)
I've won a handful of races now over the past year- small ones, of course- but, still it seems unreal to me. I never ever thought I would be fast enough to win a race - it's been a testament to me that hard work pays off, and it keeps me getting out the door every morning.

BALTIMORE MARATHON IS SATURDAY!! I'm really excited about this race. I had a great time running the half last year, so I can't wait to see how the marathon course is. Plus, it will be awesome to have my family there. I did my last hard workout for the week this morning at Run Tex, and will just got out for easy jogs the next two days.

I'll update after the marathon!!
