Run went well, I hadnt run since the Baltimore Half-Marathon the week before so I didnt know how my legs would feel about running. I was hoping to go under 2 hours, which I did, which made me happy. Thought I would have to push harder to get there so Im pleased with the results. I negative split the llast 5 miles so Im happy about that as well. I would rather do that than start of fast and just hope I finish.

Just train more on the run. Im starting to like running a bit more, but I need to force myslef to get out there and train more.

Walked around and grabbed some food, drinks from the hooah tents. Walked back to Metro then to the car and home.


Training.


The soldiers were great at the water stops. Plenty of water for everyone 10x over. navigating the water stops was a bit tricky as people started hanging out and coming to complete stops after the first water station.

Navigating the course towards teh end was tricky too as I came upon several huge groups of walkers taking the entire course. I just wish people would run/walk like they should drive. Slower traffic to the right! Once people put down their entry fee I think they feel entitled to walk wherever they please. This is coming from someone who barely cracked the 12min/mile pace, so you know it had to be bad out there!

Still a great race though! Plan on lowering my time next year!
