Finished my last half marathon of the year yesterday morning. Didn't train well for it... Bad fibromyalgia flares with accompanying depression made it really difficult to find the motivation to get out and run. However, I still call it a success. I did finish, after all. Also, unlike last year, the weather was pleasant and so the race itself just made for a nice morning. I tweaked my hip a tiny bit, but it's already feeling better with some stretching. And I finished at 2:51, which for me, on a flat course with sub-par training, is decent.
I'm putting together my race schedule for next year (black friday sales!) and am once again feeling motivated.
This was also the race that officially retired my pair of running shoes with 403 miles. (Luckily, I picked up another pair on clearance after they were discontinued last spring. I can definitely feel the difference between them.) Now I get rid of the oldest pair, the next pair becomes the garden shoes, and these ones become the casual sneakers.
