Fun stuff!!!  It had rained this morning and it was a bit humid at the start, but not to bad.  With little to no training, I was a bit worried and kept giving myself positive affirmations to keep focused.  I ran with my friend who hadnt trained a whole bunch either so we reassured each other the whole way. 

The hill at mile 4 or wherever the biggest one is, was definately more noticable to me than last year and I was happy to get to the downhill, which we flew down.  I walked 4 times I think, and I needed it each time. 

I wanted to break 2 and am way excited about my time.  There was one or two times I didint think i was going to be able to do it.   

Another PR, by 10 minutes, WOO HOO!!!!
