I just have to stick with what works for me on race day. It is amazing how little things like that can change your race.

I get irked at $15 for the Disney races! I had to laugh at your comments about the handheld bottle instead of using your water belt. I did the same thing at the Holiday Half and hated it the whole time.

My half before this went really smoothly and even though my time was not great either it went well. I hope your son feels better soon. There is nothing worse than a sick child since neither one of you gets sleep and it is stressful. Take care and thank you for your continued support.Boston Bound Brunettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15617670777384752810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6822096984973552912.post-33580024950184714032013-02-05T11:03:05.415-08:002013-02-05T11:03:05.415-08:00Sandy, I think you did great considering everythin...Sandy, I think you did great considering everything--that's a really strong time (I actually read this last night but ended up being awake all night with my poor little sick son, so I couldn't comment until now).

I usually wear a pair of Nike Tempo shorts and a simple tank top and that does the trick so I think I need to just stick to that since it has never done me wrong! Your hips are too big..you're funny! I have the big hips but I guess I am just used to the belt. For me, the hand-held would take some getting used to for this distance. Hope you and the family are doing well.Boston Bound Brunettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15617670777384752810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6822096984973552912.post-68818252859043280112013-02-05T06:45:34.797-08:002013-02-05T06:45:34.797-08:00You are so adorable surfing!!!

It feels okay today so I am not sure what happened on race day but it is just one of those things and you move on. I am glad that you had a great race. You are such a strong runner and I hope that someday I can be just half of what you are :) <br /><br />My grandma is a great cook. I have tried to duplicate some of my favorites that she makes but they just don't taste the same. I think it needs her special touch. I told her that it must be the pans that she uses or something magical like that.Boston Bound Brunettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15617670777384752810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6822096984973552912.post-6808376955872686082013-02-05T06:11:43.924-08:002013-02-05T06:11:43.924-08:00I hope Pasadena has something better in store for ...I hope Pasadena has something better in store for both of us.

I'...Well done!!! I am very envious of your time!<br />I've stopped running with all containers and just shove my gels/bloks in my bra. Have to put a lot of faith in the volunteers, but so far so good. I hate carrying anything on a long run. <br />I won't run in just my jog bra in public either. Just can't do it. I will in my basement on occasion but even then I feel weird. Dunno.<br />My cousin lives just a half mile from the start. Love staying with her - I get to get up with the sun and have the trail all to myself. Then she usually has breakfast waiting for me. Heavenly!!<br />Might be out there in a few weeks ... we shall see.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15746127583914380279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6822096984973552912.post-32676472498455674562013-02-04T13:25:55.183-08:002013-02-04T13:25:55.183-08:00I was laughing at myself this morning because my a...I was laughing at myself this morning because my arm actually hurts from holding the hand-held lol! I usually take it with me on shorter runs and it works perfectly. I think I need to work my arms more too so I can handle carrying my hand-held!
