I finished, guys!! my garmin time was 5:03, my clock time was 5:15, and my tweet my time twitter thing said 5:09... so not sure what's accurate yet.
THE GOOD NEWS is that I ran really strong until mile 18.5 which I'm really proud of. I ran that portion at a pace much lower than what I thought I could've handled in anticipation of the rest of the race being awful. My time is slower than I wanted, but somewhere around mile 20 I decided I didn't care any more and just had to do what I had to do. So it's ok.
Which... it had its dark moments for sure, and a race report will follow once I get some food in me and have a chance :o)
But overall... I feel pretty good! More soon :o)
WOO HOO! You totally rock.
ReplyDeleteI just got back in from my nine miler so I ran some of it with you. ;)
Eat, refuel and bask in the glow, marathoner.
Yeeha!!! I'm so pleased for you!! I look forward to reading the race report :-)
