My Body hates me

Ug...I am lying here in physical pain. Ran the Kili half Marathon yesterday...a glorious not to be missed experience....but today my 42 year old body is reminding me that I just climbed Kili and that she is having NON of this crap. She has advised me to take to my bed....ug.
More later on the amazing experience it was to run 6and a half miles up Kili and 6and a half miles down...all the while being trailed by kids with no shoes but huge grins. I wondered what their impressions of this old white lady running on their streets was??? The course allowed us half runners to view the leaders at several times. They literally flew by going up hill...drawing gasps from teh crowds and other runners. Amazing. The race ended with nell and pearl running with me into the stadium and across the finish line. let me just give you a quick visual....they were the only white kids...barring about 3 others....out of thousands of people...Nell had a Masaai cloth on and Pearl had a sparkly tutu....quite the sight. Love them so much. Ug...gotta go...feel like crap.
