Mercedes 1/2 Marathon


PR!! 1:32:51

I'll take it.

My first time to Birmingham, AL and I enjoyed the weekend trip. This race was on Valentines Day which proved to be problematic...
Hubby took me out for an awesome dinner Saturday night at Hot&Hot Fish Club (http://www.hotandhotfishclub.com/) and I had too many martinis. Not the best thing before a race. But oh well, those fresh squeezed grapefruit martinis were well worth it. For dinner I ordered the rabbit loin over greens with wild mushrooms, a poached farm fresh egg, and a warm bacon vinaigrette. Most delicious thing I have ever tasted.

The course was a bit hilly, but the worst thing was the weather. A frigid 30 degree start temp made me cringe. My Florida blood was not happy. Overall though, it was a great race and I will do it again.
