Wow. I love this half marathon, I just was not in a good place to run it. i-t band issues on both legs, I have been batteling with my right leg and hamstring for about 4 weeks now. I was good the first five miles, then it went south from there. I had to stop and stretch every half mile after that. I tried to hobble/run for the remainder 8 miles...the last four were brutal. However, I do love running and will get to a better place. Just need time to heal and strengthen up. I think where my milage had been sooo low the last few weeks, I became too tight.
Here's to finishing, loving on Rex who ran the marathon and qualifed for Boston with a 3:11 finishing time.
