A couple of Half Marathon pics courtesy of my friend, Janice. The head wrap was a last minute addition to my run gear. Probably won't make that mistake again...but it did stay on and controlled my desperately-trying-to-revert-back-to-curly hair (due to the early morning drizzle).
Just ran my first 10K on June 1st (Sat)...that one turned out to be closer to 6 miles even due to a race snafu that shortened the course by .2 or .25... But, my trusty Garmin says I ran 6 miles, and my official race pace was 9:37 per mile. VERY happy with that. Even happier that I didn't run it in the brace (cleared that with my foot doc first!)
Here's a picture of the bling I received at the end of the race...not as substantial as the Half Marathon medal, but a little more daily wear friendly.
Have also incorporated 1 mile of barefoot style running in all my training runs since the Half. Feeling some familiar aches, so stretching and icing and massaging, and staying at 1 mile...for the moment...
My next scheduled race is a Half in Sept, pretty sure I'll have to find another before that. And I plan to work on my speed, and work on increasing my barefoot running distance, and find a good running skirt...and... and ...the list goes on.
Looking so serious... Happy to be done!
