So yeah, I ran the Atlanta 13.1 mile Half Marathon on Thanksgiving.

My advice to anyone thinking of running something like this for the first time:  DON’T FREAKING DO IT

I got a blood blister the size of Fulton County covering my entire left foot.  I did something to my hip while trying to pour some gatorade on my face and twisted that all out of whack.  Then the combination of those two things apparently made me run with such an awkward stride that all my weight was smacking down on my right arch — 6 days later I still can’t walk without limping.

Oh but I got a freaking medal that says “Finisher”, awesome.
