Update: I'll get back to the deets later

SO I'm slacking on my journal entries here.  Sorry about that.  Just a quick recap of the last 4 races:

Race #3
3/1  Little Rock Marathon.  Little Rock, AR.  Holy geezers was this an epic adventure!!!  We drove to Little Rock in a helluva winter storm.  Pretty much one lane of major interstate the whole way.  Scary as hell as we skidded a few times, but we made it safely.  Then it rained the entire marathon and I was soaked, hypothermic, and crampy at the end.  But it was an AMAZING race and I loved it SOOOO much!!!

Race #4:
3/22  Bataan Death March, White Sands Missle Range, New Mexico
OH MY this was an INCREDIBLE experience.  I so wanted to knock this one off the bucket list and I did.  It was an amazing experience, and I'm so glad we did it.  Will have to go into more details later, but for now, I will just say that it was a once in a lifetime experience and I'd do it all over again if I get a chance.

Race#5:
4/25  Golden Driller Marathon.  Tulsa, OK
This was an inagural marathon.  It was hotter than hell, and it was miserable, but I did it with a good friend.  We did double marathons this weekend and she was a trooper.  Liked the race, not loving the heat.  This is us before and me in the ice keg bath after.  Felt AMAZING!



Race#6:
4/26 Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon,  Oklahoma City, OK
This race was really special this year because it was my first back to back marathons.  I wasn't sore muscularly going into the race, but my feet were blistered and jacked up.  I do this race every year and LOVE it.  It has so much meaning for me being that I lived here in 1995 when the Murrah Building was bombed.  This is my hometown race honoring those we lost.  I love this race so much!!  I also coached a small group of two women with a local running store training program, and got to do the race with one of the women.  It was a long, but amazing day as well.  Temps were MUCH better today.


More race details to follow!! :)
