PR for me by 30 minutes. Now that makes me a happy boy. Wow. What can you say about today? A bit o' rain and wind makes for a hard run. I talked with Marci for a sec before the start and thought that Id run the first several miles with her. That way we could help each other keep a good pace and after that I would start picking it up. That didnt happen. I lost her after several steps then found her again and then I just felt so good I picked up the pace. Ran a few miles with Ryan and the Bull and figured Id stick with them and that would give me a good time. That didnt work either. I was still feeling frisky so I sped up more. Dispite the rain (actually I love the rain. Id run in it all the time if I could) and wind I was feeling really good until about mile 21. I held it together pretty well until the last two miles and then I slowed noticeably. It was fun to run by people and know they where cheering for you cause there was no one else around. That helps. Even though I didnt get as low a time as I hoped for (but everyones times where off so we all got the shaft there) I still feel really good about this run. I ran smart and just followed my body and kept positive. I wont give splits cause thats alot of spliting.
