Run
Comments: So my last long run was on Dec 6th when I did the Palm Beach half mary b/c I got a free bib the day before..and I was not prepared...then, I got really sick for several weeks over winter break and didn't do anything physical for 2 weeks...then I did an 8 mile run the week before this race. So...I had 2 goals: Finish and don't fall (b/c I fall a lot ad get boo-boos). I took it super easy but it didn't feel easy for 11 miles. the last 2 I chased a girl and was keeping sub 9:00, somewhere between 8:30-8:50 when I would look at my Garmin...so there is hope yet. I did stop to make poopies at mile 3. First place was wayyyyy ahead with a 1:49. Second place was 2:12:06 (50 seconds ahead of me) and 3rd place was 2:12:32 (24 seconds ahead of me)...so it goes :) What I am happy about is that I was running strong the last 2 miles. What would you do differently?: Not much. It was a fun race and I did what I could for the day....the bathroom stop was unfortunate but a common theme in my running. Perhaps take immodium to prevent the urge. Post race
