The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the Lord.-Proverbs 21:31

With that said, this turned out to be a terrible race.  Aggravating pain in my left heel that
occurred a week prior, I couldn't put anything on it after the 3rd mile and started losing speed and was beginning to wonder if I could finish. I think after the 6th mile I got over the initial disappointment, decided to finish the race and stay positive and eventually had enough to muster a strong finish for me.  Its just a bitter lesson learned to let the body heal and recover.  It really does help to smile and to thank all the volunteers you encounter.
