Tom King 1/2 marathon was yesterday. Everyone's been telling me how flat this course is so I was pumped to run yesterday in hopes that I would run the 1/2 in under two hours. I BARELY finished in under two and am totally excited about it, but seriously, the course was NOT easy. I have never been more sore in my entire life. I would blame it on the bike ride we had to do this morning, but I was this sore before Todd's class today. WTF?
Anyway, race was great. I beat my PR by 12.5 minutes which was really exciting. All of my buddies totally killed it as well - Johanna, Tilghman, Kathryn, Ross, etc. I bonked a little right around mile 10, but somehow managed to recover. That may have had to do with the fact that 8 miles was the furthest distance I'd run since Birmingham on V-Day. I don't think my poor leggos have completely recovered from that race, but I guess that's the point. We need to get used to running on very tired legs. UGH! I asked a friend of mine who did IM last year if this is how she felt the entire time and THANK YOU, LORD, she said no. I don't know if I would last another sixer feeling like this! :/
