Run
Comments: Had an upset belly and the start of a migraine which I mentally willed away during the race. Had fun and didn't try to worry too much about going faster or watching the Garmin. I really had fun. Ran with Emily which helped keep me going. Chatted with other runners. What would you do differently?: Not have an upset belly or migraine. Otherwise, I can't think of anything. My race clothes were perfect and my shoes felt good. Post race
Warm down: Ate banana and some water. Then the banana upset my belly. Then I switched to vanilla wafers and Poweraid and some oranges. What limited your ability to perform faster: I had to stop at the bathroom once during the race. I can't complain about my speed, my goal was 02:30:00 and I beat it! Event comments: The most important thing was I had a good time which was my goal...along with running the entire distance and finishing in 02:30:00 or less. Last updated: 2007-04-29 12:00 AM

Woke up at 4.10 am to Chap's coffee (ummmmmm). Ate a cup of Gatorade, one boiled egg and a bagel with peanut butter. Got dressed and out the door. Found a great parking spot on the east side of Broadway right on the race course. It was the greatest parking spot ever created.
Stretched then stretched with Leslie and Emily. Hit the pottie about seven times prior to the start.
