At the last minute Michelle couldn't make it.  I headed out on my own at 6:00 AM.  I ran uphill most of the 5 miles to the lake.  Then I circled the lake for 3 miles and ran up 11400 and turned North on to the Mountain View Corridor trail until I hit 10 miles.  Then I turned around and ran the same way back home.  It was a decent run, but 20 miles is hard to run by yourself.

9 miles before work.  Slow and still no energy.

Graduation at work today so I ran at home before.  I ran 4 easy miles, but I had to pee the whole time which made it kind of miserable. Legs are just heavy. YUK

I also walked a mile during lunch.  With the challenge at work every little bit counts.

Race: Hobble Creek Half Marathon (13.1 Miles) 01:40:41, Place in age division: 17

This was a fun race.  Neither my ankle or my knee bothered me at all.  My goal was to run 1:40 or faster.  I wish it was faster, but I haven't done any speed work.  

The first mile was crazy.  It was tough trying to weave around the slower runners.  I tried staying with Curt, but after about 2 miles he pulled ahead.  I carried my bottle with Gatorade for the first 6 miles.  I didn't stop at the first aid station.  I like doing that at marathons, but I don't think I'll do that at a half marathon again.  I had GUs at miles 6 and 10.

 I felt pretty tired the last few miles and wanted to walk.  I told Alex before he left for his mission that I was going to dedicate my races to him.  So I kept reminding myself that "I can do hard things".  The last mile I tried to pick up the pace to make sure I didn't go over 1:40.  

I didn't have any stomach issues.  Yeah.  I had a banana and a poptart for breakfast.   

My splits were: 7:40, 7:27, 7:35, 7:31, 7:41, 7:37, 7:45, 7:58, 7:37, 7:55, 8:26, 7:48 and 7:39 (.97).
