Really fun race. The crowds were awesome and the weather was close to perfect ... just a little too warm for my taste. The crowded start forced me to start slow which was really good and so I ran relatively even splits the whole time. First half was 1:22:30 but the second harder half slowed me down a bit. I really felt awesome and should have dropped the hammer at 20 after heartbreak hill but convinced myself otherwise. I felt just fine at the finish and even today I feel fine. My feet are kind of beet up but thats life I guess. Overall a really great race and a 12 minute personal best.
Again some slow mileage to get the blood flowing and the residual lactic acid removed. I'm feeling pretty good, but the blisters are going to have to come off soon and that will probably leave me limping for a day or so.
The blisters came off last night and my feet hurt something fierce! I'm really trying to make sure it doesn't effect my stride either walking or running but having only mild success. A few days though and they will be back to normal.
