Run
Comments: 44 and raining at the start with 10-20 mph winds. RealFeel 31. First 10 were good. Tailwind for the first five and a breezy loop through Camp Pendleton. I had fun. 10-12 on the boardwalk. 25 mph headwind but the rain had stopped. I tucked in nicely. I thought that it would be better after leaving the boardwalk. It wax not. I had cn oh sh*t moment. This is where we passed my hotel too! About the halfway mark it started to sleet did I got really cold. I kept you telling myself that running would keep me warm. That if I ran faster, I'd finish sooner. Mile 19. Out of the headwind! In Fort Story. Road was partially blocked by sand drifts. A car was stuck. Mile 21, tailwind! Rain let up. I was hoping to be aware to pick it up here but the rank was running low. Gu at 4, 8, 12, 16, 19, 22. While I didn't make my goal time, I'm kind of proud of myself for sticking with it. It would have been nice to be two minutes faster but I did my best today. I saw someone in the elevator with his medal and asked how he did. He replied, "I did want any records today." I think there is a lot of that going on here. Post race

Dropped off Zoe and hit the raid from the kennel at 9:15
Drove to Virginia Beach, arriving at 12:45. Lunch, expo, hotel.
Dinner at YNot Italian dorm the street from the hotel. There was a long wait so we got a to go order and took it back to the room. Better way to watch the NCAA tournament anyway.
Set the alarm for 6:00 to allow time to eat and digest before the race. Breakfast of bagel with peanut butter, banana, water with Nunn, small coffee.
