Yesterday morning, Lindsey ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lindseykuper and I ran the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon!
(you can read her account of the adventure over on her journal)
Upshot: we both ran pretty well! It was a lovely day for racing, and I got a personal best: 4:01:26. Lindsey was just a few minutes off her PR time; strong showing!
I keep saying this, but: next time, I'll totally break four hours!
( The rest of the story... )
But! That's still a five-minute PR for me, and I brought it in fairly gracefully. I'll take it!
After I made my way across the finish line, I sat for a minute, had a banana and a bagel and some sports drinks, and then hobbled back to the race course to cheer for Lindsey, who ran it in pretty soon thereafter. I managed to recruit some nice bystanders to cheer especially loud for her as she came in. And once we found each other again by the finish line, we gingerly shuffled around, ate more post-race food, had to explain my footwear a few more times, and then wandered back to the hotel and to Bloomington. And then there was a lot of eating and sleeping (and AI homework, in Lindsey's case).
And that's the story!
