I might count this as a race report if I don't run next weekend's half marathon in less than 2 hours! :-) Started out deciding to run between 12-14 miles, then about 3 miles in (after a weird sideache through mile 3) I decided to run a time trial of a half marathon and see if I could get under 2. It felt HARD and its hard to believe I'll be able to do much faster next week, especially considering the course will likely be harder than this course (hard to not be harder, this was practically pancake flat). But I DID IT! It was hard, and I was really really tired afterwards, and my legs felt like lead. But I wasn't nauseous like normal, so I guess I could have gone a little faster. :-) Bad parts were that I had no water until mile 10, because the stupid park water fountains were still turned off, so I couldn't have the gu I brought either without any water. Started out at 35 degrees, ended about 40, but at least only a few drops of rain fell! I tried to get the long run in yesterday but it was a hurricane and torrential downpour. I am so sick of this weather I can't take it anymore! Splits: 9:25, 8:51, 9:06, 8:51, 8:36, 8:36, 8:22, 8:32, 8:43, 8:22, 8:35, 8:50, 8:26, (.1 - 7:37) Total Time: 1:54:09, Total Ascent: 1419
