We completed another half marathon this morning in lovely Austin!! It was damn cold... but so much fun! And I made a personal record of 2:03 which is pretty nice for a slow gal like myself! I had a goal time of 2hrs, but hadn't run more than 4 miles in the past two months and so I must say, I'm pretty satisfied. I love how towards the end Eddie tries to push me and say things as a coach would to a trainee like, pump your arms faster, look up not down, only four to go, etc. The more he talked to me (this goes for every run over 10 miles we've done together) the louder and meaner I got when responding. I tend to take my lack of training and physical strength out on him, which in turn gets me going and running a bit faster (except for hills... I cannot stand those little $hits). That's why I love him so much though... he gets me.
Afterwards, we stopped to see our very good friends, Janine and Robby who moved to Austin a few months ago. I LOVE this girl... poor thing was nursing a hangover, while Robby was kind enough to cook us some hot breakfast! It was a short but oh so sweet visit!!
