Undertrained half. Ran about as well as I could today, hard when it's almost 20 minutes off my PR and not a PW only because I once ran a half with stomach flu. But I maintained a steady pace of 7:40 plus or minus, and only faded to a 7:52 in the 12th mile when I really didn't know if my right calf was going to cramp or my sciatica was going to seize up my left leg. Neither happened, so I was able to bring it down to a 7:45 last mile and finish respectably in 232nd place out of 3,700+ finishers. I do have to figure out what to do moving forward. It's hard to run so slow but I need to lose weight and work harder to run faster. We'll see.

Easy run to break adhesions and stretch things out. Left hamstring and right achilles tweaking, but nothing too bad.

Felt much better today for most of the run, but the right achilles conked out 4 miles in. I'll have to be careful with that, good thing this weekend is going to be easygoing.
