Ran the USAF Half Marathon today. 1 mile warm-up is all I had time for with the traffic coming to the race. Was fairly nervous about how I would do in this race since it is my last test before the Columbus Marathon. Started out to fast for sure. This is a hilly course but fair as they are equal; up & down.. Ended up running 1:28:50 which is almost a 3 1/2 minute PR for me from my last half marathon whichh suprised me based on slightly reduced mileage te last few weeks and the fact that my regular runs do not seem to be at a faster pace. Legs are Very sore today and were sore yesterday so i did not get a cool down in post race. My arch of my foot has been bothering me latley but tonight it is hard to put any pressure on it. Hope this goes away soon and is just a 1 day deal. I will take Sunday off and do an ez recovery jog Monday maybe even tuesday. |
