Big House Big Heart - Post Mortem

I ran the Big House Big Heart 5K today. It did not go well. One, I had to stop and walk twice. Two, in August, I ran 2 miles, biked 12.4 miles, and then ran 3.1 miles (5K). My 5K time was a minute and a half faster than I ran today. I understand that I was hurt so I could not train and before that I was lazy so I did not train but still that was bad.

Good News: I know what I have to work on for the Spooky Duathlon on October 11.

Great News: I saw Liz and Jamie on Friday. We had dinner at Melange. It was great seeing them. Unfortunately, I chose a big price, small portion restaurant but it was tasty. I was really tired but I was buoyed by the four of us spending time together. As I have stated before I miss them but I could barely tell that Jamie had been in that skydiving accident :).

The important thing is that you did it and maintained some sense of dignity... at least until you got home.

Jamie and I will be cheering you on to victory October 11!

So you had to stop because you weren't prepared - and not because you were injured? That sucks, but hopefully it will give you some motivation for the next one! How was running into the stadium?

Yes, definitely under prepared and possibly under nourished. It was definitely the motivation I needed and I will not stop on October 11 but I will be sore on the 12th and 13th.
