I signed up for this race in April, then got the flu the following day. That lasted 4 days, followed by a cough that lasted 5 weeks. Bruised my ribs from coughing so much and only ran one training run of 20 miles. Needless to say, I've never been so unprepared for a race. Ran with a buddy in hopes of helping him qualify for Boston. Paced him for 22 miles and then he hit the wall and after struggling the final 4 miles, he missed the mark by 6 minutes. Had a fun trip anyway, ate some good food, and enjoyed the weekend. |
