The day started out with chilly weather (in the 40s) but quickly warmed up to the 60s after less than an hour. I was peeling off layers as fast as I could. The skies were clear, little wind at the start of the race, and the course had several rolling hills. I felt really good for the first 15 miles.
However, my left foot started killing me around mile 16... I had to walk a good portion of mile 17 to let it recover. I got back on the pace for the last two miles, which were all uphill into the wind. I finished with my arms raised and upright. Though I had to get off my feet for about 15 minutes directly after.
AT&T Marathon here I come! My first, and probably last marathon. Given what my feet were telling me, I think I'll just become the best darn half marathon runner I can after February.
