Change of Shoes: 488 Miles and a Marathon Later

I'm now a marathon runner! Last Sunday I ran to Canada and back at the Detroit Free Press Marathon- pretty cool! I ran 26.2 miles and felt pretty good throughout the whole race. And I met my personal goal to finish within 4 hrs! My final chip time was 3:57:22.  Boom!

That night, I rode around Meijer in the electric shopping cart to purchase some epsom salt while wearing my medal: proof that my legs were sore and I'm not goofing off... Well, I still did a lil' obstacle course through the women's clothes section!

I ran 488 miles in the past 5 months- crazy!  I'm gonna retire my current pair of running shoes now.  And I'm gonna retire to the couch because my right foot hurts...
