Comments:

This was probably one of the coldest races I have ever ran. We are just not used to these cold temps down here in NC. I couldn't get warm at the start but finally warmed up near the end. I am not sure if I was warmed up or just numb. I couldn't feel my legs by the end.

I really had not been running much since IMAZ so I was really happy with this race. My goal was to run a 1:37 in order to qualify for the NYC Marathon and I did it so I was VERY pleased! I got second female overall!
