This was a very good run for me it had lots of hills and scenery to keep you entertained. I think I spent 80% of this race by myself. I was able to keep my focus all the way through the race even though there were a few times I questioned why am I doing this. One point in perticular was from mile 16.5 to mile 23 which was all uphill and had to dig deep down to keep from walking. I did end up walking a minute at mile 24 when i felt the muscle in my shin pop, then again at mile 25 which was a few minutes after the last aid station were I decided to try some vitamin water my stomach was not happy with me, luckly the sick feeling left very quickly and I was able to finish strong.

Nothing other than sticking to the nutrition plan that works for me.

Streched and walked around drank some water and juice had a mini chocalate muffin then laid down in the sun and waited for Roni to finish.


Still not at the weight that I want to be at but I feel that my performance was good.


This race also had a lot of diffirent terrain to run on asphalt , cement, gravel, dirt, and grass. at mile 14.5 aid station the herimiston cheerleaders were chanting ( for the life of me I can't remember what it was they were chanting) and this stuck in my head for several miles which gave me something else to do in my head and kept me putting one foot in front of the other.
