I made it back to the hotel and slept for a couple of hours. Rest feels so good after walking 13 miles.
Later that evening, Jen and her husband Terry and I have dinner at Carrabbas. I had a wonderful time chatting with my new friends.
Jen and I know each other through the health and fitness online community, My Fitness Pal. We chat and support each other almost daily. She has a terrific sense of humor and an easy, unpretentious way about her. She isn't my on-line friend, she's my friend.
Jen has expressed interest in walking a half marathon with me, possibly this fall and maybe in NH. Jen's a passionate weightlifter who'd much rather be lifting heavy weights, so her interest in long distance walking makes me smile.
After dinner, we met up with Jonathan and Ken for a beer. Ken is a veteran marathoner, so he's especially proud of my "speedy" finish and wants to know where my next race will be.
It was the perfect end to a wonderful race weekend.
Congratulations again! How are you feeling after getting home? Keep me posted. Good luck with the contest, we are rooting for you!
