I woke up super early to get to the bus by 3:30 am. Then I warmed up. I noticed that there were more than just the 2-3 anticipated kenyans, there were 6. That wasn't very exciting. I went out comfortably fast the first half marathon. I was with the kenyans at 12 miles and then they took off. By the time that I was out of the canyon, 16 miles in, then I was feeling horrible. My legs were just not moving. Sasha ran with me for about 2 miles until mile mark 20. The last 10k were the most miserable miles that I have ever run. I was walking and then jogging about 8 minute pace. I was just glad for the race to be over. After the race then my legs hurt horribly. But I ate some food and within 20-30 minutes I was feeling good. I am about 95% recovered three days later. Great job Fast Running Blog runners. |
