This morning about 7:15 am I went out for my first run since the marathon 20 days ago. It wasn't easy and I decided to only run 3 miles and take it easy. I'll have to try and get out 3-4 times a week again to get back up to speed.
Anna wrote her first letter to Santa and is really enjoying the Christmas season. She had fun helping me deliver gifts to several neighbors in our neighborhood. She also helped mom make some craft gifts for her big sisters.

California International Marathon
Well, I survived CIM and finished an hour and 10 minutes faster than my first marathon 7 years ago. I think I'll stick to 1/2 marathons and shorter for any future distance races. I'm still a little
stiff but getting better each day. My legs really tightened up on me those last few miles. The weather was great though witch is unusual for this race. I've been a spectator every year for the last 7 years and there has been some very cold and wet conditions most of the time.
My neighbor ran a better race and finished right around our goal time which was only 22 minutes faster than me. Considering he dropped me with 8 miles to go that's not a big difference!
My long time friend from high school was shooting for a Boston qualifier and ran a 3:38:54 missing it by ~18 minutes. So close! Maybe next year!

Florida Wrap Up
The flight home was pretty smooth. We had a short stop in Dallas where nearly everyone got off the plain. So, we stretched and walked around on the plain until the next batch of passengers boarded. I was definitely glad to get home, though I had to pick up Anna right after getting home from the airport, make sure she had some dinner and get ready for my offices Open House party where we mingle with our clients and enjoy catered food and several types of beer we brewed for the party.
