I really don’t! \u00a0There are a ton of things I would like to share with you; most of them are from the race. \u00a0If you don’t want to hear any more about Saturday’s 50K, you probably will want to skip today’s blog entry. This may be a long post.<\/p>\n

MFH (My Favorite Husband) and I drove down to Laurel, Mississippi, Friday afternoon. \u00a0We wanted to get to the hotel and then drive to the race start. \u00a0The start was out in the National Forest and it was a bit of a drive. \u00a0We needed to time the distance and know where we were going. \u00a0It would be dark o’clock when we would be driving to the race start the next morning.<\/p>\n

It was a good thing we did this! \u00a0It was about a 45 minute drive. \u00a0There were some turns that were difficult to find. \u00a0We almost got stuck in some mud, but we were successful.<\/p>\n

On our way to trying to locate the start, we found a Forest Ranger in a pick up truck. \u00a0We stopped to ask him if he knew how much further down the road it was to the starting line. \u00a0He did and then he gave us an earful. \u00a0Not bad, mind you, it was more of an, “You Ultra runners are nuts!” earful.<\/p>\n

He told us that, “No matter what the weather, hot, cold, wet, dry, muddy, flooded…y’all tell us that it was perfect! \u00a0You are the happiest people I have ever met. \u00a0Maybe I should take up this running stuff.” \u00a0Then he just sat there and shook his head. \u00a0He was a very puzzled man. \u00a0He was also a big help because we were then able to drive to the exact spot we needed to be the next morning.<\/p>\n

It was such a fun, fun race! \u00a0Even though I was sick, I had a blast!!! \u00a0At the end of this post, I’ll put my official race pic that came in last night. \u00a0This pic was taken at mile 24. \u00a0I had taken three spills by then. \u00a0Shortly after this pic was taken, I changed into short sleeves for my last loop. \u00a0It was warming up (finally) and I was starting to get too hot.<\/p>\n

I met quite a few people that were FB friends while out on the trail. \u00a0I hadn’t met any of them IRL and we didn’t know who we were while we were out there running. \u00a0It was after we were posting online and putting our pics up that we put two and two together and we were saying, “That was YOU I ran with! \u00a0I wish I had know it was you!” \u00a0and all that sort of thing.<\/p>\n

Funny stuff.<\/p>\n

The official race report was posted early yesterday afternoon. \u00a0As runners were coming across the finish line, they were trying to post tentative results on a table so people could see how they did. \u00a0I thought I was #10 overall female finisher. \u00a0I was wrong.<\/p>\n

I was #8 overall female finisher AND I won my age group!!!<\/p>\n

Now, y’all know that I’m not the excitable type. \u00a0Right!?! \u00a0HA!!!<\/p>\n

I’m here to tell you, I am on cloud 9 about this!!! \u00a0Pretty exciting stuff!!! \u00a0*insert HUGE smile*<\/p>\n

Poor MFH, he has been having to listen to me as the race results came in. \u00a0When I told him I had won my age division, he wasn’t surprised at all. \u00a0That’s MFH for you. \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

He left early this morning. \u00a0He is going to be in Birmingham, Alabama, until sometime on Wednesday. \u00a0He is taking radio classes again to get a fancier certification for our radio station. \u00a0He wants us to do this right. \u00a0I agree with him! \u00a0We have a chance here to really do something good and we should do everything in our power to do a top notch job. \u00a0http:\/\/www.wmfhlp.org\/ \u00a0is the web page that tells about what we are trying to do.<\/p>\n

So, that is what is going on. \u00a0I’m still under the weather. \u00a0Here in a couple of minutes, I going to shower and then go pick up the animals from Reggie’s House. \u00a0The cats will want in and out and in and out and in and out for the rest of the day. \u00a0Paxton will pass out in the living room with his stuffed pink puppy…his favorite toy, for the remainder of the day. \u00a0I’ll crawl back under the covers and try to sleep off this fever.<\/p>\n

I’m not running again today. \u00a0I took yesterday off, too. \u00a0If I’m still feeling iffy, I won’t run tomorrow either. \u00a0Hope to be able to get back to it on Wednesday, though, as I have a Half Marathon in a couple of weeks. \u00a0I can’t be a total slouch or that race, which should be pretty easy, will be a hard one and I don’t want that!<\/p>\n

Take care, all! \u00a0Happy Monday!!!<\/p>\n
