Down A1A in back... in 13.1 miles

My 3rd 1/2 marathon -- A SUCCESS!!! I just kept running, didn't stop, and believe it or not - shaved nearly 45 min off my Disney time - - with no body holding me back, i was able to run alone and concentrate - and made it in 2:44! PLus, shaved :06 minutes off my 5 mile time - made it in under and hour - and was feeling great - so i'm not so much worried about the running part of the triathlon, now.

... except for the fact that i'll be running after swimming and biking for miles!

After this weekend, i have the worst possible tan/sunburn - a combination of a speedo swimsuit (went swimming Friday morning, and laid out afterwards) and a sports bra (from this morning) - not too attractive, and it's a good thing i'll be wearing a wet suit for the swim in Tampa Bay. A little worried about the salt-water.. did i mention that?

GREAT NEWS: ONLY ABOUT $1,000 MORE TO GO!
My company, HarperCollins Publishers, is going to be matching 1/2 my donations -- to get to 4,300 overall, i need approx. 2,800 before the match - right now i'm at 1,800!! ALMOST THERE!

PLEASE DONATE... and thank you to all of those who have... please help me complete this HUGE goal - and wear my new "HOW ABOUT A THREESOME" (with biker, swimmer, runner) cap with pride!
