Race: Thanksgiving Pointe Half Marathon (13.1 Miles) 02:07:58

I had a PT appointment last night at 4:30 and he did the Graston Technique on my achilles and it was a miracle im telling you right now! I could instantly walk up and down stairs afterwards. I went to the race with the mindset to not run hard, in fact the doc told me to rest and I thought id be alright running slow. So I paced a really good friend of mine Amy Fromm who was wanting to run a 1:50 but had strep and a sinus infection and even pink eye from the past week so I new it was possible but not on this course, it is very rugged! In fact I talked to Seth Wold after the race and he said the steep up hill parts he actually got to a walking pace.  Amy and I were definitely  walking up these parts. It is very scenic and you see Waterfalls and run through tullips and flowers and wow it is really breathtaking. Something I probably wouldnt notice as much trying to belt out a fast time. Amy did so well Im proud of her. She is the type of friend that makes you laugh and smile when your around her. Im trying to get her on this so she can keep track of her miles. The course is a very windy and curvy and hilly and turns at least 60 times in the race. Im not exaggerating either. I give props to the winner of the race who did a 1:11 I think. I probably wouldve been in a 1:14ish time im guessing. Courses like this really kick my butt. I had fun taking it easy and pushing Amy though. I could tell she wanted to walk and I wouldnt let her. I hope she talks to me again. haha  I made her sprint the last stretch to beat 2:08. She did so Im proud of that.
