I usually post this on the last day of the month. But on the last day of February, uh, hello, I was running a marathon.

This morning I ran for the first time since Cowtown, waddling through a three-mile run in 27:41. The first mile was ugly brutal, a 10-minute-mile, as my legs tried remembering what it is they used to be so good at. By the middle of Mile 3, they had warmed up somewhat and I was able to move along the Trinity Trails at about an 8:30 clip. I was soooo glad to stop.

I think I'm done with marathons until at least the Fall I think. But there are some half marathons I want to get signed up for and I think the first will be the Oklahoma City Half at the end of April. This has a companion Full Marathon (OK, its the Oklahoma City Marathon with a companion Half Marathon) and it is put on in memory of the bombing of the federal building there in 1995.
