Probably should not have run ... but did (and am good with the decision). :) Pain level was about what I had expected during the race (but far worse than I expected the following several days). Did better than I thought I would have the first half and worse than I thought I would have the second half. My body was just not ready for the miles. Luckily Ashton and Jake ran the final 6.2 with me or I might have walked the whole thing. :) LOVED being there though as both Annie (my SIL) and Fonz had FANTASTIC races!!! Annie PR'd by roughly 15 minutes and Fonz ran his FIRST marathon in 2:48:xx!!!!!! And get this, his longest training run was a 16 miler. DANG THAT BOY IS FAST!!!! He says he is not going to do it again ... I am going to try and convince him otherwise. :) :) :) It was fun seeing everyone! I am super ready to give my body a short break from running now. I have been feeling quite worn down these past couple of months and am looking forward to regrouping. :) |
