Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
2.00	13.10	15.10

I ran the half today with the feeling I shouldn't. My left calf was bothering me. Went for a two mile warm up. Calf was bothering me but I figured I could "take it easy"

Race started and there were a lot of runners. First two miles were up hill and my calf was not happy. I thought I was going to have to drop out. Kept going and started talking to an air Force inspector. We were going fast and I asked wayyy down. I figured I could make this a good training run.

Around mile 6, we started running in the most heavenly neighborhood I have ever seen. The southern homes with spring blossoms made me feel like I was floating, or maybe it was my caffeinated gu?

I picked up the pace around mile 9 and I passed a lot of people. 10 had a big hill and then it was a downhill finish. 3 miles of glorious downhill.

Finished and my leg was not happy. I'll probably be off for two weeks. Yay

Great job! Still 9 minutes faster than my PR on a bum leg.

Thanks for the comments you guys. I rarely check the blog, just use it to keep track of mileage/ workouts. Thank you for the supportive feedback. I have been off my leg for 2 weeks and just getting back. Boston is around the corner and David has been dealing with an injury as well. The goal is to run the marathon and not cry during the race because of our lack of fitness. We are just excited to run it together!
