Survived the White Rock Marathon in Dallas with a 3:25:11

Good temps paved the way for a good time in yesterday's White Rock Marathon in Dallas. It was a personal best for me and a good way to end 2009. I hit the half at 1:41 and was glad to see the fog not burning off by that point. I knew I'd have to maintain a 7:49 pace per mile from that point to hit 3:25 and needed a little help from the weather.

I scoured the 'net for some music for my iPod other than Fleetwood Mac and Springsteen to get me through the latter miles...the speaker suggested Turbo Lover by Judas Priest (gotta love growing up in the 80's).

Another one that made me chuckle was the song on this video that some guy sent me (who I apparently upset) when I pursued adding regulations to combative sports in the spring -- this singer needs some anger management. If you think these songs are humorous, you'd get a good laugh from my iPod. Time to hang up the running shoes for a while and focus solely on the upcoming fiscal session, which convenes on February 8.
