Woot! For those who have been following my progress, or lack thereof, the good news yesterday (12/31) was that I'm released to run! Be sensible, don't catch up all my missed training in the first week, and listen to my knee. I can definitely live by those rules -- maybe it was wearing the "gotta run" t-shirt that sealed the deal.
So off we went to the New Years Eve party at the Cavalier in Virginia Beach. Let's just say that I drank a few more martinis than last year, and the results of that would be about what you'd expect. We made some new friends and had a BLAST! (Happy Anniversary, Dee & Bob!)
It was pretty tough getting up this morning for the Hair of the Dog 5K. I was registered in the Walkers division and planned to be absolutely gorgeous in my seafoam green Joan-Collins-Dynasty gown. It was 29 degrees, wind blowing 10 - 20 miles per hour, and just a miserable day to race, in addition to the aforementioned "few more martinis" syndrome. But we hardy souls headed out -- Dee, Bob, Dennis, Beverly, Dean, Judy, Rob & Mary Beth with lots of layers and lots of grumbling. It was a great race for everyone, and I'm so stoked about my high placing in the Walker division that I'm going to pretend that I wasn't in the Walker division and act like I am just that good. Check it out!!!!
Your overall finish place was 17, your age group finish place was 7 and your gender finish place was 10. Your time of 46:21.05 gave you a 14:57 pace per mile.

If you ignore that last little teeny sentence, it sounds like I was in contention for a prize! And all this while wearing the most gorgemous dress of all!
Watch out, Richmond! I'm back!

love the dress...did you actually wear it?And I'll never tell that you walked...who cares-you were out there on new years Day!!!
Yes! I did! And although I am still waiting for the official race photos to be posted showing me in all my seafoam glory (and since the dress didn't zip at ALL, I had a glorious gold lame (ok - can't figure how to do the accented "e" - it's lah-MAY, not "lame") cape to complete my stunning-ness. I was told to never EVER throw this dress away, and I have to give a special shout-out to my stylist Shannon for finding it for me. I thought $9.00 was a bit pricey, but it was worth every penny!
