I did it today.
I have to say now that I have done two of these things, I have some thoughts (of course):
1) Between mile 11 and 13, I have some seriously dark conversations with myself. I hear Jillian Michaels in my head, "Unless you're bleeding, puking or dying....don't stop."
2) It is in the last three miles that you find what you're made of. I really thought my last three miles were miserable in the first race because of the horrible weather. Not so much! Today was decent weather and it was still difficult.
3) Different races definitely mean a different mix of people racing and today was no different. Lots of women. About a third of the runners overall from December. I liked the route today, a lot. The mix of racers....had some issues.
4) I definitely do not hurt as much as I did in December and I attribute that to cold weather and better stretching.
5) I did better than I thought after the health stuff I have been fighting for a month. I managed to finish having run the whole thing. No walking, no stopping.
6) When is the next one?
