I completed the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ardenenergyrun.com\" target=\"_blank\">4th Annual Arden Energy Challenge race<\/a>, the 6.2 miles that was a mostly hilly course in a pathetic time of <b>1 hour 16 mins and 29 seconds<\/b> (there were grandparents at the race who were faster than me!) Anyway, that&#039;ll teach me to NOT take a 3-week break from my training program! ACK! It also didn&#039;t help that I didn&#039;t have dinner the night before&#8230; I kind of forgot to eat >.< But the grainy energy bar I had plus water in the morning got me through the morning. \n\n<p>\nOverall, though, the race was fine; the weather was overcast and party sunny&#8230; After the race, there were the usual booths that gave out free bagels and shmear, fruit smoothies, energy drinks, and PASTA! LOL I was so hungry afterwards, I helped myself to two &#8220;servings&#8221; of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.salernobeach.com\" target=\"_blank\">portobello mushroom ravioli<\/a> (my mouth still waters thinking about it)&#8230; I guess my sis and I got our twenty-five dollars&#039; worth of freebies (each) and somewhat recovered from the race fee. Also, I broke-in my boots and I have to say, my feet are fine; I think I might just run in them at the half-marathon&#8230; Speaking of half-marathons&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\nSheryl, if you&#039;re reading this (HI!), the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ocmarathon.com\" target=\"_blank\">OC Marathon<\/a> <i>does<\/i> have a 5K event! It&#039;s on the same day as the Marathon and half-marathon, December 5, 2004 probably at 8:00AM (although, on the website, the time says TBD) and the fee is $25 if you pay before November 1st ($30 thereafter). So yah &#8212; JOIN IN and I&#039;ll see you there!
