Today I am in Tucson.



THE RACE IS DONE. I haven't really figured out yet how I feel about it, but I think that's mostly a function of how new it is and how tired I am. It was a tough course and we're a few thousand feet above sea level, so there were a couple of moments where I really was so tired I wanted to stop (or at least walk). BUT.....I didn't and I think this experience will make me mentally stronger for future races. I was kind of disappointed with my time - 2:25 - because it was a few minutes slower than Cabo. But again - tougher course and elevation, so I am okay with it and it's still my 2nd fastest half marathon ever. Anyway, glad it's over.



The food here in Tucson is awesome, especially if you like or want to try authentic Mexican food and not the Americanized cheese enchilada version. Yesterday I ate one of the yummiest meals of my life at Cafe Poca Cosa (featured by Rachael Ray when she filmed "$40 a Day" in Tucson). Right now I am craving eggs provencale from Ghini's French Cafe, which I read about yesterday and immediately decided should be my postrace meal. So...I'm off to do that and then head to Memphis!
