martians

the martian half marathon was coooooold!! it started out around 43 degrees, but after a few feet the wind really picked up and we got a little misting of rain about halfway through. i was so cold i never really broke a sweat. i'm glad this race was flat because i was definitely not prepared. i was tired, sore, and weak throughout the entire run. the only motivation i had was my family every couple miles cheering me on from the sidelines. other than that, there were virtually no spectators and it was a very quiet run. i would do this run again, but next time i will train more. i need to really get my butt in shape. the good news is that i did set a personal record for the half. the bad news is that the time is still really bad. oh well, i wasn't meant to tryout for the olympics!
