I Love Steaks: Happiest Race on Earth

Tuesday, September 4, 2007

Happiest Race on Earth

What did I do for Labor Day? I ran a half marathon during red-flag heat alert at Disneyland! It was fun last year and despite the heat, it was enjoyable this year as well! I was on pace to finish under 2 hrs, but I faded quite a bit in the later miles. I've never been a strong runner in hot weather, so I am happy with my finishing time, 2:06:38. It is definitely the happiest race on Earth... better be since it costs more than some of the full marathons that I've run. =)
