I finished! And even better than that i finished with no major injuries and a new PR! I really struggled with how to run this race knowing I have another one in three weeks, but my competitive spirit just would not let me run it like a long run. I started out fairly slow but now as slow as I should have. By about mile three I thought, "I'm gonna be sore and hurting tomorrow no matter how I run it so I might as well try for a PR." It was really tough though. I don't think I was prepared enough. However, in the end, I think I PR'd. My unofficial Garmin time was 2:41. My best time on a half before was 2:43. So I barely squeaked this one by. I'll take it!
Now I've got the medals from three Halfs! Yay!
I keep my bling hanging on the wire shelving in our master closet. Yep, I'm slow, but I'm out there trying. And tonight I am sore, but it is the good kind of sore and tired. I am very thankful that I'm able to to do this. So many folks my age and even younger can't.
