Stacey, way to go!
Rhoda, best wishes for a speedy recovery for all the sick ones in your family!
Mary, great job! I'm going to try to up my protein, too. Had 100-120g as a target, but will increase it to a minimum of 110g per day.
Mike, congrats to ya! Only two minutes short of your personal goal was sensational--especially with another blister!

Thank you ladies. My blister was fine but around mile # 5 I could feel a new one coming. It's pretty nasty now. Well I did finish but I fell a little short of my personal goal. I was shooting for 2h 38m and I came in at 2h 40m. That's again everyone and big thanks vabeachgirlNYC for posting the pic .
That's a big PR jump, congrats!
And your welcome, it's a great pic.

I don't think that I can milk this for the next couple days. Maybe if I call it a war wound instead of a blister?? Here's the new one.
I apologize If I grossed anyone out.

Super excited about today! Today is our "Valentine's Day" since the real one is on a school day. Chose today as a cheat day as well, so I'm not looking forward to tomorrow's weigh in, but the v-day treats and time with SO is sooooo worth it! Tomorrow I'm going back to crew practice! Wish me luck!
Happy Valentine's Day, ladies (and occasional men)!

1. Drink water: Yes, No, No, Yes, Yes (Almost 3L!!!), Yes, Yes!
Life:
1. Clean apartment: No, No, No, Tried, Enough for D&D night!!, Just stared at the piles of stuff, Nope!
