 Run
Comments: My 1st mile I ran in 9:38!!! That's a PR for me! When I got to mile 3 1/2 or so something POPPED very loudly. I think it was my back. Mile 4 1/2 my hips really, really started to hurt and I had the walk/stagger the last 2 miles or so. It was so mortifying being followed by the van that was picking up the volunteers, then crossing the finishing line LAST and they are dismantling the finish line. This is by far the worse I've felt after a race. I just sulked back to the car. What would you do differently?: Probably NOT sign up for races out of my league. Stick to 5K's until my running becomes stronger.  Post race
Warm down: Mortification turned to a wee bit of anger and sadness and loneliness when I see that ALL the water has gone as have the goodies bags. I tried to cheer myself up by going for a pedicure and foot massage. Didn't really work however. What limited your ability to perform faster: Lack of warm up I'm sure!!! Event comments: I am TRYING so hard NOT too feel bad and just accept it as a learning experience but it's certainly not easy. Last updated: 2007-10-08 12:00 AM

Wasn't sure where I was going as I had stupidly left the directions at work (Or so I thought) but my inner tom tom was correct in finding the place. When I picked up my number I found out the race was 25 minutes later in starting. Urgh! No Starbucks nearby and it was FREEZING!
Walked around a lot, little stretching, trying to make some friends. People here are funny however and SHUN you. Hmph. Don't know what they are missing.
