Victory Junction Gang Half-Marathon

The Victory Junction Gang Half-Marathon this morning. This morning was the worst weather that I have ever ran in when no one was forcing me (USMC). Nearly a 1,000 people there running either the half or 5 miler (this was the one for Jennifer). It rained the entire time and the temps were in the 30's. It was rough weather and this is also a very hilly course.
I did think about not going but I felt like I needed to make some type of sacrifice for the kids that attend the camp. Jennifer asked several times before leaving if I really wanted to go. After it was all over Jennifer was happy she ran and felt great. I on the other had felt OK. I had some issues but ran OK. During the run I gave my jacket to a girl that was not prepared for the weather and was way too cold, so at the end on the race I was wet to the bone and getting really cold. I sat down and started to eat a bowl of chili. I got cold, colder, and even colder. I was shivering and shaking like crazy. I was ready to go. We quickly got on bus to take us back to the car. I will remember to take a drop bag with some warm clothes.
Once we got back to the car everything was fine. I changed clothes and cranked up the heat. We stopped at the mall on the way home and did the rest of out Christmas shopping. I think we are finished. We got back home and only had a couple of hours before we were off again. Jennifer dropped me off at school for the play and went to pick-up Elizabeth. A couple of hours of the play and Jennifer picked me up and we all came home.
Everyone else is in the bed and I will be soon. It has been a busy day and I would like to Thank God for great one. We missed church this morning but I prayed several times while I was running and a few times while Jennifer was driving this evening. Dear God Thank You for all of your blessing upon me.
