So, I ran this morning. Well, ran and walked. It wasn't too bad. I finished 3.1 miles in 43:17, so that was pretty good. For me. Of course, I was being passed by the people who were running 10k in that same time period, but, you know. That's not my style. I was under 15 mins a mile, which is well under the pace for the 1/2 marathon, so that was pretty exciting.
Man, did my muscles ever cramp up though. I don't know what the deal is. Just not used to all the movement, I guess. But, I was running/walking by this guy who got a stitch in his side probably after a half mile. You could just tell by the way he was walking.
Also, they didn't have water until after the 2nd mile. What is THAT about? Aren't they supposed to do water every mile? That's what I would do. Plus, the sun was out. So, by 1.5 miles, I was pretty dehydrated and it was hard to keep moving quickly. But, I kept on going.
Anyway, I did that and now I'm going to eat lunch and decide what I want to do. Jake is at work. I should probably go and work on cleaning up the house some more. Some of the walls are pretty ridic.
Brewer Game tonight. They may have the roof open, so I'll probably have to take a jacket. But, I'm looking forward to a hot dog. And finding that shirt that says "Party like it's 1982.".
EDIT: My offical time was 43:31, which equaled 14:01/mile. But, since I ran over the start line about 15 seconds back of the "gun" time, my unoffical time was 43:18. Which is 13:56/mile. Woot.

Thanks for all the encouragement. No, I don't mind. My dad was very surprised when I came trunking in at the time that I finished. He wasn't expecting me for 3-4 more minutes.
Oh well. I took today off. Back at the running tomorrow. Gotta keep going! :)
