Gathered everything the night before. Wore arm and calf sleeves and Nike running tights. Two dry-fit short sleeve shirts and Brooks rain/wind jacket. Just right. Brought a change of clothing and it felt great to change out of the wet shirts into something dry.

Did my normal leg swings, psoas stretches and hamstring stretches along with about a mile warm-up at an easy pace.

Rain curtailed the festive mood, most wanted to get changed asap. I'm happy with the course and Bear always does a great job.

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.
