Woke up at the crack of dawn to meet Chris's mom. Walked on the beach a little towards the 1/2 marathon course, to meet Chris and Rebecca along as they were running. We saw them at mile 1, then at mile 10, where we waited for about 1 hour listening to a fabulous band play great songs from Journey, the B-52s, Madonna, and many others. It was a blast, we were singing and dancing all along. Chris finished in 2:01 and Rebecca in 1:49. Everyone agreed that the humidity was brutal, so they were both disappointed with their times. And since I've never done a flat 1/2 marathon, I kept wondering what my time would've been. Sigh...
Went swimming in the ocean afterwards, then Chris and his mom took off to the outer banks where they're spending the rest of the week, and I to dinner with Rebecca, her wonderful family, and with them to the B-52s concert which was FABULOUS! We danced (well, jumped around) all night long. Then to bed early. |
