Second half marathon in 2 days (when I am really not trained for this much mileage all at once!) so it was for fun and not time. I actually felt stronger today than yesterday. My feet were tired and my left calf cramped up at about mile 11 (including strong pain on the downhill to the finish which was a killer having to stop and walk right at the end when otherwise I was feeling good)!!

Had a Gu Roctane at about mile 2, sipped gatorade at every other aid station, and used the blueberry pomegranate Gu chews. Yum! This would not be good in a race situation because I would choke on them, but it was fine for a fun run. I had plenty of energy. It was more that my legs were just tired at the end.

Not run a half marathon the day before? LOL. This was for fun. It was fine and I wouldn't really change anything.

Walked around a bit and did a little stretching. Probably should have stretched more.

Had a few snacks right at the finish, and then made a cold Endurox (1 scoop) in the car. Then headed to McDonalds for a bacon, egg & cheese biscuit and mocha. Need to remember to drink the Endurox but save my calories for a yummy breakfast, rather than munching on stale donuts and half bananas.


Not my goal in this race.


Course is challenging for racing, but fine for a fun run. Was a decent race and would do it again. Long (1 hour) drive but nice park-like surroundings.
