Run
Comments: I could tell early on that this wasn't going to be a great run. Started out too fast, told faster friends to go on w/o me about mile 5. Walked a minute at mile 8, couldn't make the legs go faster. Day started to warm up, and never really felt comfortable. Ended up finishing about 8 minutes slower than the HM I ran 3 weeks ago. Still an acceptable time, I guess, but I ran so well in Rochester that I was starting to feel that things go well all the time. They don't. What would you do differently?: Definitely slacked in training last few weeks. I should try not doing that. Post race
Warm down: Walked around, stretched, drank water, Boost , beer. Watched full marathon lead finishers. What limited your ability to perform faster: Heat, I guess. Mostly just wasn't prepared wnough. Event comments: Can't say enough about the overall event. Next year need to stay for the tent party, but came home shortly after race due to Father's Day. Last updated: 2007-01-11 12:00 AM

Drove up evening before and crashed on the floor of a friend of a friend. Didn't sleep all that great. Up at 4:15 for bagel and PB and get to UMD for bus ride to start.
Stretch and pee. I need to start jogging a bit before a foot race.
