This was the toughest run for me, I gave it all I got and barely cracked 4 hours.
Time: 3:57:25
I truly did give it all in this event. Recall yesterday I was going to post more about the race… too tired.
I had nothing left at the end, my strategy of running 4mph then dropping to a 19 minute mile worked, but I started cramping at mile 6 mildly, got bad at 8, and when I tried to accelerate, I just cramped more.
I was cramping in muscled that never cramped before and at mile 12, my feet got numb. Scary weird feeling.
To add salt to the wound, I took the light rail and bus home, saw my bus transfer leave in front of me, normally I would be able to run and make it, not this time.
Weight when I got home was 302.6
So proud of my team though, next year my son and I are going to do it together. I think I can crack 2 hours next year. I feel motivated!!!!
Just doing pushups and situps and there will be no running the rest of the week.
Weight: 304.0
