marathon
Yesterday was perhaps the most intense day of my life.
I ran the Fairfield Half Marathon. 13.1 miles of heat, hills, and sweat. That was probably the hardest thing I have ever done. There was a group of Kenyan's who came from KENYA to run the race and they took all the top spots averaging like.. 5 minutes each mile. That is crazy.
I ran it VERY slow. I didn't care about my time, I just wanted to finish the race. I'm pretty mad at myself too because I stopped to stretch a bunch of times and I didn't want to stop. I lost a lot of time because of that. Oh, and I walked a little too at the end because I got a cramp during the 11th mile. That sucked. It hurt SOOOO badly and I only had 2 more to go and I just had to walk it out, which lost me about 10 minutes. Oh, and Ryan and his dad drove by while i was walking to aleviate my cramp. Go me. They probably thought I suck.
Anyway, I finished all 13.1 miles in 2:29:26. Sweet. I can't wait to do it again next year.
Anyway- summer has been awesome so far. I've been reading, yogaing, pooling it up at Zak's house.. Life is good.
