13.1 Miles of Paradise

Originally posted on October 28, 2010

Let me be clear: I didn't run. As I've been saying for some time, I only run when I'm being chased. But my husband did run. He ran it in under 3 hours.

I was a wreck. He was doing better than I was heading into it. I was sitting in traffic trying to get to the finish line to pick up Ashley and Eddie, and an ambulance went by, and I cried. Not sobbed or anything, but I was so freaked out that he was going to get hurt. Thank goodness I was alone in my car. Or somewhat alone. The guy in the convertible next to me kept eyeing me. Couldn't tell whether I should be flattered or confused. Anyway.


We've decided that this Myrtle Beach Mini Marathon is going to be a tradition. Ashley and Eddie will run it (she was 53rd overall-- how ridiculous is that?), and I will drop them off, take a shower, worry, and drive to the finish line to pick up the road-wary runners. I was fantastic at my job. Except that I left Ashley at the finish line for an hour while I sat in traffic. Fail.


They are awesome. Had a great weekend. Go team!
