I’m back from San Diego, finished my first marathon!

Woo hoo, 26.2 miles in 7 hours 18 minutes!

I’ve done several half-marathons with Team in Training, this was my first full marathon.  It was an absolute blast.  All of the Team in Training chapters across the United States and Canada converged on San Diego to participate in the Rock N Roll Marathon held May 31.  There were 2200 TNT, with two-thirds doing half marathons and one-third doing the full marathon.  There were 22,000 participants, altogether, so we made up about 1 in 10.

We raised $8.2 million dollars, by the way, for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.  Don’t ever think your $5 or $10 doesn’t go very far.  Combined with everyone else’s donation, it adds up, believe me.

Since this is a pet food blog I won’t stay off-topic, just wanted you to know I’m back and I did it!!
