So how did it turn out? Terrible.
I hurt my knee and finished an hour over my goal time. That wasn't the terrible part though. The pain. Ohhhhhh the pain. And wow, its like childbirth...you forget how mental the whole thing is. And did I mention I was in pain? ;)
My MRI was this morning and Friday is my appointment. It is feeling fabulous at the moment, but it hurt SO BAD during and after the race that I am worried something is wrong. A wise person told me not to worry, so I'm trying not to. ;) Worrying is my nature though...how do I not worry?
I could go one and on about the experience, how disappointing it was, alllllll that training just to get injured....but instead of hearing me moan and groan I will leave you with some cute pics from the weekend, how bout that? ;)
Here are are holding up our "in honor of hank" signs. Hanks Homies!!

You should still be very proud of yourself. I have a bad knee and I still keep trying to run on it, so I can totally understand your agony. You're my hero :)
