Well I submitted myself to punishment again and ran the White Rock Half Marathon on Sunday.
Long story short: It rained the entire race and was 30 something degrees. I was soaked. It was like having a lake in your shoes. I loved it.
Just like last year I didn't train like I should have and have had shoe problems. Anyway, I had decided to walk/run in order to get my $125 (entrance fee) finisher t-shirt. :)
BUT, much to my surprise I felt great, ran the whole thing, and DRASTICALLY improved my time.

That's right! You heard me! I shaved off almost 23 min. This time I hydrated during the race with Gatorade and fueled with Gu (energy gel). Last time I just did water and what a difference!
Last year I could barely walk and felt nauseous after but this time I walked right into the runner's building and felt great.
See ya Dec. 2, 2012!!
