first off rachel got sick this morning so I ran this race all by myself. the first half was mostly down hill and I felt really good so my pace was in between 6:30 and 6:50. I could have gone faster but I knew I still had another half to go so I kept that speed. the next 4ish miles I bumped down to a 7-7:15 becasue it was going up hill but I still felt pretty good! mile 11-12 a side ache hit me and it hurt but I still ran through the pain. after that went away the last mile I sped up to a 6:40. for this being the first time running more than ten miles, it felt really good and it was really fun! I did a little cool down with the boys, then once I got home I iced, rolled, stretched and walked a little more.
