I didn't do as good as I had planned. The start was great, was a bit tight after stretching but I didn't hurt. I was at my goal of getting to the half way mark in 1 hour, did that and felt great. It wasn't till I hit the 9 mile marker that the heavy winds hit and my asthma started acting up. I couldn't breath then my ankle started killing me. At around the 10 mile marker I was ready to give up and ask the ambulance for something to help me breath but I kept trucking I had to finish.
I ended up finishing with a time of 1.21 ...... 7 min slower than my first half but I started injured and finished injured. I took all day Sunday on the couch icing my leg and with a heat pad. Today I'll go to the gym to sit in the hot tub. My honey said I damaged the tendin that attaches my foot to my leg so I have to not walk on it to let it heal otherwise I'll get tendinnites in my leg like I do in my arms.
Goal is to still be ready for the full marathon on may 19th and not have any setbacks!!
I have some pictures from the start to post.
