Better to Laugh

After several health related issues recently (bruised shoulder, bruised nose, some weird food sensitivity:  itching, swelling, etc.), I feel pretty darn good about finishing my first half marathon race of the spring yesterday in 2:21:24. I knew it would be somewhat painful, since I had only completed 8 miles in training. The weather wasn’t ideal. The temperature started in the 50s, but it was very humid, and there was a headwind during the second half of the race.

My recovery is going pretty well; I only feel a little soreness. It must have been the post-race play time with my grandson, Gavin, that helped work out the tight muscles. It doesn’t get any better of a day than that!
