half marathon

I woke up this morning to 3-4 inches of snow on the ground. After I showered, they announced that the race start was postponed until noon.  After a scary drive on icy roads to Snellville, I ran the Reagan half marathon in a comfortable 2:29:58.  Click here if you'd like to read my race report.

After the race, I drove to Kyra's dad's house to get her.  We then headed towards home. I was hungry. We debated about stopping to eat or eating at home, but as we were driving, I started having painful abdominal cramps. So I made a quick decision to stop at Bambinelli's for a late lunch/early dinner, primarily because I didn't think I would make it home before having to use the restroom.  I ran straight to the restroom as soon as we arrived.  Then went once more before we left. Kyra reassured me that she went through a similar experience recently and that after two trips to the potty all would be well.

Unfortunately, she was wrong.  I spent the rest of the day/evening in the bathroom, several times an hour. This is not fun!
