Wow... great runs and umm... efforts for the non-runners.<br><br>
Ran downtown along the Bow River. Cold and snowy, just perfect weather for the Hypothermic Half. I had forgotten it was today, and had thought that they ran it EAST along the Bow as is the case for other halfs, but this one ran WEST and was plowed all the way.<br><br>
I was a mile or so into my run when I met up with the winner of the race heading back in. For the rest of my run I was entangled with the race. Made it to the turn around point and added some distance, then returned and was bang on the mileage markers... started reeling in the stragglers.<br><br>
Darn, I should have run the race.<br><br>
Pokey, moi? Yeah, for the last two weeks, but I don't know where the pokeyness went today.<br><br>
14+ in 1:59:50. Felt good all the way, although the last mile was tiresome. Got to try out ULTIMA, and although I was a bit "rumbly in my tumbly" as Tigger says, there were no adverse effects. It fizzed in my water bottle though.<br><br>
Got to thinking that I ran the half today in snowy and cold conditions faster than my first ever half. And cooked food for the week, and walked a couple of miles with my son to get pictures for his photo essay and...<br><br>
here comes the crunch time of the training.<br><br>
Have good ones all.
