Personal:
I run with God. I use my running time to contemplate, to pray and to listen for His call. I'm married to a non-runner, but a supportive one, and we have four children.
This is without a doubt the worst race I've ever had. I had a great first 3 miles, and then I'm not really sure what happened. I just struggled to breathe and stopped twice to see if the medics had something for me. Both times they gave me a neb treatment. I'm trying not to dwell on it. I need another half marathon. This is not indicative of my training, and I want to redeem myself.
