Raced in my first run-only half marathon. I was a little nervous because my running has been so horrible lately. I wasn't sure what my goal time would be, so decided that under 1:50 would be great. Surprisingly, I did pretty well compared to the other racers, but I didn't finish under my goal time. My time was 1:51:08. I thought I was running in front of the 1:50 finish group, but it turns out that I was a little behind. I was 31st out of 1340 in my age group. That's pretty good...top 3%. The race course was a lot of fun. All of the fan, bands, cheerleaders, and Disney characters made the race go by so much quicker. My legs were pretty sore that afternoon and the following day. I got a little shortness of breath during the race. It was a tight feeling under my ribcage. I was worried that I would have to drop out but it went away after about 2 miles.
I think I might do the Surf City half marathon in February. Skyler is contemplating the full. He's crazy. My legs wouldn't last.
Today I am swimming, to give my legs a little rest. Tomorrow I'm biking. Thursday running. Friday..who knows? Skyler will be gone all week so I will have a lot of time to work out.
