End of Week 2 - Long Run

On Super Bowl Sunday, I completed the end of my second week of the 10 week plan I am following leading up to the Bank of America Raleigh Rocks Half Marathon on March 28. I ended up going just 6 miles on this one. My legs felt pretty sluggish as I went on a new route with some tough uphill grades. The weather was great with bright sunshine, temps in the 50's. Averaged 10:41 per mile with an overall time of 1:03.

Shadow Box

I wanted a way to capture the memories from the 2009 Disney Half Marathon in a way where I did not have my medal and other items stuffed away in a closet. I went to my local Michael's and purchased a 12" x 16" shadow box. Inside the shadow box I put my finisher's medal, bib and several photos I took during the event. Overall I feel it turned out really well and will be a great addition to the wall at home. This was an inexpensive alternative to buying a frame from one of the vendors at the half marathon expo.
