Half proof of a half marathon

The picture below only really proves that I made it most of the way through the US Half Marathon on Sunday. I am clearly on the bridge and I imagine by the thinning crowds behind me that this is the trip BACK towards the finish. I actually did make it, though I was moving none too fast for the last couple miles.

I remember consciously fighting the pained look from my face when I knew there would be a photographer but I was not always successful.

I am very happy to have made it and happy to take a week or two off from running. In the future, I will probably stick to more manageable 10Ks to avoid walking around like the recently vasectomized for days after.
