Ran Lake Washington today. Was a good run, but need to get faster
I hit the halfway point at 42:55 and completed the entire run in 1:29:13.
I was tracking my time and realized towards the end crack 90 minutes was possible. That pace has me finishing the rock and roll half marathon in under 3 hours, specifically it was closer to 2 hours 47 minutes.
Still, I got 3 months to train, over 14 weeks. So I have time to get faster and better.
There was a weird problem towards the end though, when I stopped I felt my throat or tongue swell up and was worried I was going to choke. Luckily my son was there just in case we had to call 911. I cough drop brought down the swelling and I was able to breath normally after 5 minutes. It did rain on us towards the end and I was pushing hard to make time. It could have been a combination of the two that caused me to nearly choke.
I weighed in before the run at 281.6 after the run
Weight: 277.2
