Comments:

The rain held off for the most part. It was still cold, and there were a couple times when it rained. There were still plenty of spectators out and a few golden retrievers. I have not been training so my pace was slow, but I didnt walk. There was really no thought given to this race, no nutrition, no pre race food, nothing. It was just go out in 40 degree and rain and run a half marathon.

Warm down:

waffle house

What limited your ability to perform faster:

lack of training

Event comments:

Due to the weather they cut out the awards, and there was no post race food left when I finished. They ran out of medals so when I finished I had to wait for another box to be brought out. I still enjoyed the race and would do it again.

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?”

Having three seasons under my belt I thought I knew what I was doing. That all changed with a few new challenges and a bunch of new friends.

This program should be used for an athlete whose goal is to run a marathon in the 1:30-2:30 range and has a good running base in the past 8-12 weeks.

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.
