Pre-race routine:

Got up just after 4. Had half a bagel. Left just after 5. Ate a banana in the car. Stopped at Sheetz on the the way and we were still parked before 6. Waited in the car for a bit before heading to my corral. Did not rain until Tom left to go to the start and I entered my corral. Then rained for maybe 2 1/2 miles after the start. Was a perfect, not to hot day for a run!

Good run. Slightly hillier than I remembered and I think the new course had a few more. All in all, a good run for me!

Steady is our walk. Ignoring the pain that is radiating from my feet, I continue to place one foot in front of the other. Again I wonder, “Why am I doing this?”

I will assume you have not run consistently more than 6 miles and have never completed a half-marathon. I believe running your first half-marathon is a big task which requires dedication and work.

My training was taking off. I had never felt stronger. I was making bigger strides than I ever had. I was stronger and faster than I had imagined myself ever being.
