Went down to Fredericksburg with Lindsay to run the Marine Corps Historic Half. The weather was getting warm again we went to the expo and picked up the packet and bib. Glad Lindsay was there to show me around we went to University of Mary Washington and looked around where she went to college. We ate dinner in downtown at Sammy T's which was good. Went after to get custard at Carl's which I usually don't stray from my normal pre-race meal but hey it was good. It was an early start the next day at 7am but that gave us enough time to get back and shower before heading home. I was expecting the first half to be all downhill. Hello, there were hills I am not sure what people were talking about. There was a miniature horse and therapy dogs at Mile 5 and of course I had to take pictures. Marines were all along the course which was nice. Saw Lindsay at Mile 7.5 with a great sign. The last 3 miles were brutal. It was sunny and warm out and the hills were killer. I finished in 2:54 which I am happy with-of course I always want to do better than 2:45 but I guess finishing is an accomplishment. Stopped at Sonic before going home and got a Powerade slushie-yum. Had my birthday celebration when we got home-a whole lot of food and great gifts-Coach sunglasses...what a surprise can I actually retire the Oakleys???
