Well, I’m going to show a lot of pics for you today, as I’m very tired.  As I lie in bed with my Tommy Copper compression tank & leggings & Pro Compression socks on, I have a few minutes before I crash!  I’m feeling very good right now.  I’m pleased with my time.  I’m pleased with how I feel.  I’m pleased that I saw almost everyone who came out to cheer me on for the marathon (minus a few).  I am feeling quite good about the day.  Hoping that the compression gear does wonders & I feel just as good when I wake in the a.m.

So, here are a few pics. & I will give a more thorough update in the coming weeks.  I’m all about sleep & I know that I must get a good night’s sleep tonight!

Getting ready to leave the house in the dark         This was my morning crew              Having fun around mile 8

When I got home , I had a Vega Sport accelerator.  Now, it’s all about the recovery!

Wearing my compression gear (sans Pro Compression socks).  I am sleeping in the blue tank you can see a bit of it under the top & the leggings along with the socks.  I’ll report how I feel in the a.m.

OH, my time was 3:50!  Yes, I’m thrilled!  Last year I ran a 3:53 & was thrilled with that.  Since I’m in a new age bracket (pays to age) this year, I qualified for Boston.  Woo Hoo!    When I do more of a recap later, I will explain how you all truly were my inspiration (esp. Kim over at Day with KT)!

THANK YOU ALL!
