I still don't quite have the energy to type up a full blown race report yet. For those that don't know, I ended up running 3:06, which of course was nowhere near my goal of 2:50. I ended up having stomach issues from about 10-13.1mi, and then the leg stiffness/heaviness started early around 14mi but I kept fighting hoping it was just a bad patch. Finally around 20mi my left hamstring seized and that was all she wrote for being competitive. I slow-jogged it in afterward at a pace that kept my hamstring at bay.
What little disappoint I may have had was soon squashed by learning that Jamie (2:56) and Steve (2:58) both broke 3 hours for the first time and that Tom ran a nice PR (2:44) despite his setbacks earlier in the training cycle.
I am now going to re-evaluate my training and start thinking about goals for 2015.
But with that being said, I also think I am going to take an extended break from this blog for awhile.
I think my life needs a little less structure. It's been fun keeping this daily journal to help hold me accountable and share my training with anyone who is interested. If I get the itch, maybe I'll take it on again. But for now, thanks for reading, and happy running to all.
