Ahhhh, winter in Florida. 70 degrees and 100% humidity (fog). To add insult to injury, there was breeze out of the south, so the majority of the course was run in still air (unless you are really fast). Aside from that it was nice.

Train, of course. Three years now I've done this race undertrained. Seems like something always comes up, be it injury of life, that gets in the way of my training program. On the other hand, I proved that it's possible to run a half marathon on an 8-week training program that averages 11.3 miles per week.

Find Steph and Chris to wait for Alisyn to finish. To the post-race party...spicy pasta w/ meatballs, light beer and a chair.

This is one of my favorite races. Well organized with a great course and dirt cheap. My only complaint is the aid stations. There are 4 of them in the first 7 miles, and only 2 in the last six miles (when it's getting warmer and you need them most). I'd love to see #2 moved to the baseball fields in Wasingham Heights.
