NYC Marathon Race Recap Episode 1: Xena's Story

Hey hey guys, gather 'round!  It's story time at Agony HQ.  We're collecting NYC Marathon stories from our fabulous team mates!

Here's Episode 1, by Xena:


Since I'm just sitting here watching the Biggest Loser, let me do my quick report.

My NYCM was.... supposed to be a training run to get myself ready for JFK 50 miles in 20 days. Well, I kinda race the first half and felt okay, but I didn't smell a PR. On Queensboro, my race was over. 
I ran pretty slow after that and called it a "long training run."

I finished, hit the gym, stripped, and took two flights up to get on the TM.  It was more like wobbling, but my real race ended when the TM showed 1 mile.   Including the 0.8M warm-up, I've successfully run the 28M "training run!!!"


PEANUT GALLERY COMMENTS:
Well Xena, we're kinda wondering what other people thought of you running naked on the TM.  I mean, "hit the gym, stripped, and took two flights up..."   You never bothered to put clothes back on?  I guess with a figure like yours, there's no need to hide it with clothing!  Definitely true to your name, Xena.  Less is more!

Also, interesting to note that Xena likes to watch Biggest Loser.  Does she relate to Jillian Michaels or her sad victims?  We suspect a little of both. 

Sooooo Agonites, we're waiting for more stories to come!
