This was an epic journey made even harder by the lack of aid stations and cheering bystanders.

Also, I'm fat and my knees need to become reacquainted with the pavement. Taking it easy and starting from ground zero.

It was already pretty warm at 6am this morning.

Official time was 1:00:49.

Starting line to finish line time was 58:17

Ran it hard, didn't bonk, sprinted to the finish, threw up all the water I drank during the race. Good times!

My "fast twitch" workouts at CHS have been working out great.

Of course, when I first started running a couple years ago and weighed 200 lbs, I did a half marathon cold in 2:03

Weight: 226lbs

Joined Lonn, Shane, and John at the tail end of their workout and did a mile run around the CHS track.

Morning workouts start the day so well. I need to get back into them...

~228 avg lbs

This run kind of sucked. The outside edge of my foot was really burning for the first few miles, so I stopped and gave it a firm massage. It held up the remaining 7 miles, but just barely. My pace work suffered greatly, as a result.

Serious thigh chaffing and I don't think I'm a neutral pronator anymore. I noticed my shoe sole is significantly more worn towards the inside/big toe area.
