D'oh!

You are never going to believe this! Ummm...remember the half marathon I was so bummed about over the weekend?(Yeah, that's me) Well, I am still bummed, but not as bummed. This is so crazy, I can't even believe it myself. They had the finish line in the wrong place! We all ran farther than a half marathon! Don't ask me how this happens, 'cause I don't know. The way I figure it, my time was about three minutes better than I thought. So, while it was a disappointment...it was not the complete disaster I thought it was. Crazy I know!

  1. That is very weird. How on earth does that happen? I bet they are quite embarrased.

  2. Look on the bright side, at least they made it longer than shorter? It would be worse to say that you finished a near-half-marathon, right?

  3. Yay, that's awesome! Well, I guess it's awesome. I'm not really sure. I'd be like 'who can't measure and why do they have the job of putting down where the finish line is???'

  10. Seriously? Can that sort of thing happen? I'm thrilled for you because you had a better run but what were those planners thinking? (they weren't!!) You look great, btw!!!

  12. hmm... i have some friends trying to encourage me to join them for a triathalon. This extra running thing, though, does not encourage me. Usually I only run when chased. Or late. So fairly often, actually.
