I called his cell, and there was no answer. Cutting it close! When I got out of the porta potty, I didn't see Nathan, and wasn't sure if he went to the starting line or was still in the porta potty. We figured 20 minutes would be enough time, but when we finally got to the front of the line, my watch said 8:59:32. Finally, at 8:35, we went to use the porta potties one more time, and found that the lines were crazy long. (Hi Sarah! I meant to ask you to email me the picture of us, if you could? It was great to meet you!) The race started at 9:00, and it was only around 8:00, so we had a long time to wait. We stopped and chatted for a few minutes, and then Nathan and I went back to the car to wait. Her name is Sarah, and she was going to be running the 5K. We were going to head back to the car, when a blog reader recognized me! (I wasn't wearing the beard at that time, haha). There weren't any lines, so we were in and out really quickly. The hat was really tight and the beard was uncomfortable, so I just stuck with the shirt.Īfter we changed, we headed over to the porta potties. Nathan and I changed into our "uniform" for the race, and ended up deciding to wear the race shirts, even though we'd probably get too hot.Īs much as I wanted to be festive, I just couldn't get on board with wearing the hat and beard during the race. The men's shirt was a little big, but I like sweatshirts to fit loosely. I'm really glad I did that, because I was told that the women's shirts ran two sizes too small this year, and there were a lot of upset women about it. I love the shirts we got! Lately, I've been requesting a men's small shirt, because I like the fit of them better than women's shirts (I have no boobs to speak of, and an undefined waist). When we got there, we parked and then went to pick up our packets. I just ended up bringing a smorgasbord of options to change into if needed. We hadn't picked up our packets, so I wasn't sure if the hoodie would be too warm or not. The race requested that we wear the shirts they give us for registration, which is a Dri-Fit hoodie. I wasn't really sure what to wear, though. The weather was supposed to be great for running-43 degrees and overcast. Sandusky is about 90 minutes away, and the race was being held at Cedar Point, a huge amusement park (which is closed for the season). (I'm not going to quit tracking-just posting my log).Īnyway, my younger brother, Nathan, drove over to my house this morning so we could head down to Sandusky, Ohio for the Santa Hustle Half-Marathon. It was causing me too much anxiety-and that was on my "good" days! Christmastime is stressful enough, so there was no point in adding to that stress. I decided to stop posting my food logs, even though I'd planned to do it for the whole month. My foot was feeling 100% back to normal yesterday, and for that, I was so grateful! I still ended up having a really lazy restful day-I worked on my new puzzle, and even got it finished before I went to bed.
