I was robbed. Spent all night last night restless with a splitting headache in a hotel in Talladega with no aspirin. Got up this morning and felt like I had been kicked in the gut by a horse. Nothing I did would ease the pain. I started all the way in the back and suffered through the first three miles. Then the pain eased and not only did I feel OK, I felt fast. I didnt look at my watch but I gazed at the clocks at the mile markers and knew I was going to bust my Personal Record all to pieces...till mile 6. The pain came back with reinforcements and I had to start walking. I tried my best to salvage a good finish but every time I started to run my core would lock up. I was able to run most of the last mile and a half. Even with all the walking I was only 10 minutes slower than my best time ever for a half marathon. I should be having a pouting fit but Im even more excited for my next half marathon next month. Without all the ills I should be able to easily run it fast enough to shatter 1:45:00. Thats the minimum speed I have to be comfortable with for 26.2 miles to qualify for the Boston Marathon. Im getting there. :D
