Hyannis Half Marathon

The race today was fun. Tara picked me up at 7:30am and we made the 1 hr 40 min trek to Hyannis. Got to Jake's hotel room w/ plenty of time to spare, do the bathroom thing without having to wait in crazy lines and show up to the start right beforehand w/out waiting in the cold. I think it was 20-something degrees out but the sun was out most of the race so actually the weather was pretty good. It was a full race, complete w/ a 10K and a marathon. We were doing the half. I didn't want to go out too hard, it was more for training for me, so I tried to be conservative but still push a little. Anything under 2 hrs I'm happy w/ so especially since I didn't push it and still got under 2 hrs. I'm happy. I didn't sleep much last night, was still a little sick w/ cough and sore from hip hop so I'm happy w/ how things turned out. The best was post-race. We went back to Jake's room. Before we left for the race he turned the heat up all the way so when we got back to the room after the race it was nice and toasty. I took a shower right quick, I was freezing once I stopped running. Then we hung out in the room for a long time drinking beer and warming up, being silly, catching up w/ our relatives on the phone to let them know how we did. I even caught a little of the SU game but that reminds me I didn't see the end so I wonder if they won. I need to go check. At 3pm we got kicked out of the room so we went to eat. We all got omelets, and they all had seafood in them. Mine was lobster, spinach and tomato, very yummy! but I couldn't finish it all and we also had more beer, cape cod red ale or something like that I forget. It was all very fun and can't wait for next time. Oh, plus Jake brought my whipped PB so now I finally got to try it and it's good, especially w/ apples.

The big event before the race: I delivered my baby! Jake didn't want to help but he had no choice. Jake doesn't like vaginas!!
