My stomach started to ache before half way. A lot of cramping.

Take less medication. I had a cold so I took Dime-tapp, plus nasal spray plus Neoprene and Ibuprofen.

Too much medication.

Event comments:

It was really fun to have a women only race. The medals were very nice.

Steady is our walk. Ignoring the pain that is radiating from my feet, I continue to place one foot in front of the other. Again I wonder, “Why am I doing this?”

I will assume you have not run consistently more than 6 miles and have never completed a half-marathon. I believe running your first half-marathon is a big task which requires dedication and work.

My training was taking off. I had never felt stronger. I was making bigger strides than I ever had. I was stronger and faster than I had imagined myself ever being.
