Real Girls Wear Running Skirts

Post Race
Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.  Water first, then beer.

Re-fuel your body post race- your body's metabolism is still running (no pun intended) rapidly, so make sure to eat within the hour after crossing the finish line.  Bananas, bagels, whatever you choose.  This is your time to indulge if you so desire.

Ice, ice, ice.  Icing post running will help prevent injuries!

Today's National Half Marathon was superb (although I wouldn't have said the same at mile 11)!  Great weather, great course!  Suntrust could still use some assistance with the organization but it gets better each year.
A few pre and post photos below:
