19th

I finished 19th today at the Evansville Half Marathon. Plus I ran a nice time 1:22:00. My body feels pretty good albeit a little soreness in my left knee. I'm sure this is the result from my ankle injury last year. I'm going to see a podiatrist to see if I'm running oddly.

Oh, I almost forgot another injury - chaffed nipples. Yes, my left nipple is sore like a mother. This is a common running injury. However, today I saw the strangest sight, a man running with a large blood stain on his shirt where his nipple was. He must have torn the damn thing off if you saw the amount blood lost on his running singlet. I cheered for him as he was approaching the 13 mile marker. However, after he passed me, I looked over to one of the volunteers and we both made this face of pain and awe.

Back to volunteers and community support, there were quite a few of people out to support the runners: your local high school band, middle school cheerleaders, small high school rock bands, a lady playing the polka on an accordian, and a man playing a harmonica in a tuxedo. There were other supporters, for example, this lady that was wearing ass-less chaps. Yes, nothing more motivating then this. Luckily, this is her good side.
