When you cross the finish line, they give you your kick ass medal. Then there are covered tents with BAGELS (that carb was so good!) I had a blueberry bagel, picked up a banana, some HEB ranch chips, and a bottle of water! Chels said we needed to make our way over to the tshirt finisher tent. I was so exhausted and so confused i didn’t know where i was going, so i just followed every one else.   It was so great to get that finisher’s tshirt :)

What’s so great about this year’s shirt is that it’s NOT made out of cotton, it’s a tech tee– so i can wear it when exercising, training, and racing! YAY!

Victory!!!! What a great feeling :)

So after the race, i was physically so exhausted, and had some bad ass blisters forming, so any walking at all was quite painful! I still needed to stretch after, so i sat on the curb and stretched out what i could. Still very painful to bend my knees and move at all!

Enjoyed the scene, watching the marathoners finishing coming in, and then watched my mom dance by herself while i sat down! There was this awesome latin / reggae / rock band :) No wonder i love dancing so much!

We then decided we needed some grub :) So Mom, Sue, and I walked down a few blocks to 6th St and San Jacincto St. I think where Chels and Desi picked us up! Chelsea decided on us going to El Chile for lunch! Excellent choice!

It's over! I did it! We did it!

Time to celebrate and to enjoy some good tequila :)

What’s better after a race than a delicious prickly pear Margarita?!

We waited a while but it was all good, it was just soooo nice to sit down :) Visited with a marathon runner and her family who had just finished too!

For appetizer we ordered Queso Flameada– delicious! so good!  Chihuahua and Monterrey Jack cheeses melted with chorizo and topped with pico de gallo. Served with fresh flour tortilla.

Queso Flameada-- soooo good!

Then i ordered a delicious, Dos Equis Amber for dinner with my Chicken and Shrimp Fajitas! Excellent combo :) SOOOO GOOD!

But it didn't stay full for long :)

Well the chicken and shrimp are good, trust me they were sooo good :) :) :)

Enjoyed a great meal with some great ladies!

Well this was from Central Market, but good times!

Let’s just say we were exhausted after that good lunch and it was much needed nap time!

Dropped mom and Sue back at the hotel, then Desi, Chels, and I went back to Chels’ house for nap time! SOOOO great! I think post-race naps are the best naps everrrrr!

Woke up and jamie and zoey, her new lab mix dog, were at the house! SOOOO cute :) I love dogs!

Then we just chilled, relaxed, and watched last week’s Glee episode!!! So good :)

Thanks again for your support and encouragement during my race!

XOXO!
