Comments: Sh*t. I am such a dumbasss. While hanging out with this woman, whose name I cannot remember for the life of me, I found out it was her first marathon and the first time she had run over 15 miles. My advice to her? Stay within yourself and run your own race. So what do I do? Go out and run her race as well. What a DUMBASSS! We were having a great time, chatting and trucking right along. I was planning on a 10/1 run walk combo and it never happened. Was feeling pretty good so I didn't bother to stop. And of course I didn't want to lose my new running partner. At mile 9 she needs to step it up a bit and I need to take it down a notch, seriously, so we part ways. It was the beginning of the end for me. I went from 11:30 minutes to 13 plus. So much for running my own race. Once back to the starting area, we had 3 miles left in the opposite direction. Most of it was on concrete and that totally sucked. My feet were in so much pain and I couldn't wait to take my shoes off. I desperately need new shoes. Course was much more hilly than I expected it to be. What would you do differently?: RUN MY OWN GODDDAMN RACE! Post race
Warm down: limp, crawl, cry. Ok, not really, but it's what I felt like doing. What limited your ability to perform faster: My own stupidity. Event comments: An "early bird" start was offered to runners who thought they would do over 11 minute miles. It appears that our results are not included in the results found on www.coolrunning.com. Just as well. Last updated: 2006-09-01 12:00 AM

Had Mike and Donna drop me off in Nahant before they went for their bike ride. I was pretty early and just hung out talking with another woman in the parking lot.
Ran to this woman's car to store my goody bag and jacket.
