Some run, some fall
2.21.2006 8:43 PM \| Link	This weekend some friends of mine ran the Freescale Austin Marathon, so a few of my pals and I got together to cheer them on! Eliza, Bernadette, Shawn, and Erin all ran the half-marathon, and my pal Tom ran the full marathon (he's a total veteran now). We didn't see Tom in the crowd of runners, but we did catch all the half-marathon heroes, and I got to take their picture at the finish line! It was totally freezing, and we were shivering our butts off (along with all the other spectators, of course). While Ernesto and I were walking to a good spot, I stepped on a patch of ice! My feet went right out in front of me like I had stepped on a banana peel in a cartoon, and I landed solidly on my butt. Since there were people everywhere, within seconds there was a paramedic asking me if I could move my toes! I survived just fine, but now I have some really sore ribs and a black and blue pinky. It was worth it, though - it's always fun to get together with my pals and watch the runners. Congratulations, everyone! Labels: life, pals
