Under the cover of darkness

Here I am at 5am at the starting line. I flipped and flopped all night. I ended up going out in Miami beach for dinner at Gotham and didn't get back until close to 11pm.  The beach was packed with folks out for the weekend and Pro Bowl.

I woke up every 2 hours to drink water...convinced that I was going to be late. I must have checked my clock multiple times.  I am such a loser.  Luckily the starting line was literally across the street from my brother's house. Very sweet.

It was a fun start --- fun music, beach balls being tossed all around the runner corrals and cheering fans.
