What event were you running in?
I just did the Cowtown 1/2 marathon this morning in Fort Worth Tx. which was easy compared to the Houston full marathon i did last month.
that was the VA Beach Half, I barely trained for that one, just relied on my training from the Delaware Marathon I did earlier that summer. Both of those races weren't that nice. The VA race finished the last 2 miles on the boardwalk, there was no releif from the brutal sun. And the DE race was a loop course, sooo boring.
Ive done 2 full marathons so far (Delaware and San Diego), trying to decide what my next one will be, it will probly be sometime this spring or summer. I'll be doing the Caesar Rodney half marathon in 2 weeks tho, this time I trained haha.
