well i didn't do the philadelphia distance run half marathon two weeks ago. i was nursing a pretty bad foot sprain at the time that took about 3 weeks to clear up. i definitely trained too hard too fast. then i had a cold that kept me down for a week. it sucked; at my peak condition, i was running 9 miles outside. there's always next year.
i was able to do the parkway run 5k on 9/24 though. i placed #425 with a little over 27 minutes. wasn't my best where i got a slow start with the crowd and i ran out of gas in the final 1/2 mile. it's amazing how quickly i lose my conditioning. that was for the children though.
if you remember from last year's parkway run:
this was the same 5k that took away 4 months of my life last year. and i avenged myself and i felt a burden lifted off my shoulders.
right now i'm getting ready for the marathon relay in november. there's a team at work i volunteered to either do the 4 mile segment or the 6 mile segment, depending on who we can get.
to tune up for the marathon relay, i'll be doing the dash for democracy 5k on november 4th. that should be fun.
