Not my best, but as usual with Run13, the course was over by .10 Sorry but even if the USTAF says its ok for them to mark it over, it bugs that they mark it over every time. The competitive part of me wants to swipe 20-30 seconds from this finish time. (same for you Allie!) Forgot that I was running this today and did split squats weighted at the gym yesterday. Woke up with serious dead hips today. My husband dropped me while at a red light on University Ave. My eyes welled up with tears on the bumper to bumper drive down University, as I watched the half marathoners. Most heavy breathing and struggling. I haven't run a long distance race for almost 2 years and I watched them longingly. Saw Jen Hughes and Allie at the start, hucked my gum over the top of everyone to the bushes on the side of the road, it didn't make it. Some bawled man got it in the head oops :/ splits: 6:34 6:37 6:50. I didn't have the fitness to hold the 3rd mile in the 6:30's but I expected that with all the time off since Middle March. Fingers crossed for running well May-Sept. Pact with Satan? Ran another mile with bandit daughter Maile in the kids race. She kicked butt. 7:30 mile. She got to the start about 12 seconds after the race start and passed 98% of the kids. Only my daughter... :) 3 more fast miles on the river trail at home. Son riding his bike next to me.
