My sister in law invited me to do this race two weeks ago. I jumped at the chance to see where I was in my preparation for Huntsville. My goal was to get under 1:35. I was pleased to see that I squeaked in just under. I really enjoyed this race. The course was beautiful and fast and most of it was in the shade. Its now on the list to do again. I felt a twinge in my back around mile 6.5. Ever since I had my baby, my lower back has been giving me a little trouble. I don't know if it was all the downhill? I was trying not to lean back and fight against the downhill. I know my core is still a little weak, just reaffirmed to me that I need to get stronger there. Here are the splits.
7:14, 7:21, 7:24, 7:06, 7:00, 7:02, 7:04, 7:15, 7:40, 7:19, 7:27, 7:21, 7:07, and I forgot to stop my watch so I don't know what the last .1 was but I was running as fast as my legs would let me.
I was happy that I was able to meet my goals and my cute sister law ran the race in under 1:45 at 3 months pregnant. I wouldn't have dreamed of doing that, I would have puked everywhere for sure. We both went home happy.
