my quads are sore

i think this is what happens when you don't train enough and then go ahead and run the half -marathon anyhow. what did lynn learn through her 21.1k of running on sunday morning?

1. having shirt to throw away at events is absolutely critical
2. there can be long line ups for the potty for men too
3. going in the bush is okay as long as you have someone stand guard (note, another female competitor, mark just walked off)
4. wind in melbourne can blow the start line forward (too bad, they didn't actually advance it)
5. salt pills might be an absolute requirement for me while running longer distances
6. water sachets instead of cups are not as good because they are freakin' hard to open without spilling all over one self - although they are better for the environment
7. i hate waiting to make decisions and am impatient when i want things to move along
8. mark will always beat me to the finish line
9. i will have to wait until next year to beat the 2h mark
and finally ...
10. i can sleep as much as mark can and even more lately.
