Personal:

I am married with 3 lovely children 26, 18, &12and a dog named Koda and a cat named Blue. Love to run and be outside. I believe that if you think you can do it and you work hard enough any thing is possible. Life flashes by in the blink of an eye, enjoy it while it last and remember there is a lot more to life than running. I coach high school swim and love it!

This goes down in history as one if my worst feeling half marathons. My quads where cramping at mile 2! I felt like the last miles of a marathon by miles 6, I knew I was in trouble and wanted to stop and be done but I still needed a long run so I gutted it out with a side ache the last 3 miles. I never get side aches! I was sad and disappointed that my body failed me so early on and so bad... But I do know this happens and I do know I am capable of a sub-1:30 right now. Did a 2 mile wu and a little over 4 mile CD where my feet cramped the entire time. Looking back my electrolytes were probably way off.

Doesn't sound like a fun day. Sorry it didn't go better for you. I think you're right that your fitness is there for sub-1:30; it was just one of those days we all have every now and then that are really hard to explain. Shake it off and keep moving forward.

Sorry you had an off day. You are definitely in much much better shape. The best athletes have short memories! Gotta focus on the next one!
