So today was half marathon day. I had originally planned to participate in the Frederick half marathon. However, considering I have moved really far away, I opted to run it in spirit. And, boy, did I!
I ended up running 14.5 miles. I had originally planned a relatively simple out and back course. However my GPS conveniently wasn't keeping up with its sync until I stopped mid run to fix it.
I got over 26,000 steps! Pretty sure that might be a record on this device.
I've recently been stressed & kinda sick. Furthermore, it was much hotter here today than I anticipated. It was 66° but when running it feels 10° hotter.
I kept getting cramps that caused me to take several extended walk breaks. Normally in 3 hrs I could do 15-18 miles. Not today!!
Even though I am currently in a fair amount of pain, I am still glad I did this run. I'm disappointed my body and running equipment didn't work optimally but that's how it goes sometimes.
I'll be using this run to participate in @jumowa #runforsteem initiative. Here's his post with the rules:

Well, I think I may've earned a nap! Take care everyone & thanks for visiting.
