Here's the proof:

Pre-race.  Don't be fooled by the smiles, we were FREEZING.

I'm really not in as much pain as my face shows.  I was enjoying myself.
 Crossing the finish line. I really ran the whole thing...didn't even walk!

 All done, medals achieved!!!! (Be sure to note Anna in the picture)

All in all, it was a great day. Don't get me wrong....it was hard & painful (esp for the next 3 days), but it was fun. I had a great time, achieved a decent time that I was proud of, and proved to myself a really big lesson of determination. And while I won't do it again, I'd say I've come to enjoy running, and am looking forward to the 10k in the spring.
