So I ran the Gasparilla HM Sunday. It was hot. It was humid. And I still got a 6 1/2 minute PR! I cannot tell you how proud of myself I am.

And 2 days later I still can't sit without lowering myself with my arms.

Oh heck yeah! Got a bunch of dirty looks from Princesses, and envious looks from the guys who got tiara medals and pink shirts.

And went and got the Elvis cupcake too. Thanks for THAT inspiration!

I ran gasparilla too - and coming from somewhere that was 10 degrees the morning i left to head to FL, it was awfully hot & humid.

My FL friends were in capris, gloves, etc. and i'm all SINGLET, SHORTS and STILL sweating like crazy

Congrats!

It was so, so dark and the bridge was not a smooth surface! He was bleeding & injured one mile in!

I hope you had a good race too, lb2006. I'm just from south Alabama, so the weather isn't too different in Tampa, it's just that it has been, oh, winter for a while. I couldn't even look at all the people wearing the long sleeve race shirts. It made me too hot.

I hope your friend was OK. I'm glad he wasn't just absolutely trampled with how crowded the bridge was.
