San Diego Rock 'n Roll Marathon: 3:46!

Whew. I made it. And 6 minutes faster than last time! Thanks, mom and dad and Jackie and Marc, for coming down to cheer me on. And Jackie, I owe you big time for dragging me along on miles 18-24...I couldn't have done it without you! Here we are, running at our blistering pace...!

I am thinking about running another one to try to hit the 3:40 mark. Maybe the Long Beach Marathon on Oct. 12th . But then I think about all that training and it makes me tired. ugh. Anyone want to join me? Or give me some tips? Or come cheer me on? Or talk some sense into me?

Gilbert!!

So, in honor of the centennial celebration of the publication of Anne of Green Gables, I took this online quiz. And apparently, am yet another male character: Gilbert Blythe. Here's what that says about me:

You’re the town gentleman. Like Gilbert Blythe you are handsome, smart and witty. You’re definitely the whole package. You have trouble expressing your feelings when you really care for someone, so it sometimes seems like you feel the exact opposite. You are career driven and goal oriented. You know where you’re going in life. Nothing excites you more than a good challenge!

Hmm....I don't really agree with any of this assessment, except that I am smart and witty and definitely the whole package. :) But the part about knowing where I'm going in life...?!

Take the quiz and let me know who you are! Maybe if you're lucky, I'll call you Carrots.
