Running in Life's Slow Lane

It has been more than a month since I have noted one of my runs here as a plethora of foot and leg issues have prevented me from running. However, I have had a week of good health and celebrated by participating in the inaugural Dallas Rock-and-Roll Half Marathon.

13.23 mi in 02:49:06 @ 12:47/mi burning 1480 calories.

I have never learned to drink from a cup while running so I generally just walked when I needed something to drink. Right around the 4.33 mile mark I stopped for a potty break and late in the race I had to walk more often as the quads, glutes and hamstrings were really complaining. All totaled though, I think I walked for less than 1.5 mi of the total distance. Not too bad.

Sadly, a racer died on the course today. I did not know of this until receiving an update on Facebook so it was either far ahead of me or somewhere behind me.

I plan to rest tomorrow and then try to get back to a regular schedule of running on Tuesday.
