Half Marathon PR!!

I know I talk about running a lot, but today I hit a PR on my run. I have to say it's totally unexpected as various events persisted through out my week. I went to personal training on Tuesday, but only ran on Wednesday and Thursday. Not to mention I've been having some pretty serious muscle pain in my lower leg (kim maybe you can help me figure out what it is???). Also, the last time Laura and I tried to run 11 miles we only made it to 7 so I had some pretty serious doubts about this half. My only was to make it to the end. And boy did I! Despite the stomach cramps, the muscle cramps, the head games, the week of fieldwork and waking up at 4:45 every morning, and the poor running, I did it! And I did it in 2:02:28. Kim and I have this goal of making a half under 2 hours, so while I was so close, I didn't make it. However I did decrease my half time by more than 2 minutes! It feels great. The only downside is, I feel completely lazy and have an exam on Tuesday which I am nowhere near prepared for. At least I have tomorrow and Monday...

  1. Great time, Tristan! You had such a crazy week with your clinical and you still PR'ed! We'll both run a sub-2 hour half soon, I'm sure of it!
