Notes
The race started with some serious rain which continued the entire time. Better than a lot of snow! I was planning on running 9s, but I settled into 8:30s which felt like effort but not "holding onto the seat of my pants" effort. It felt really good to pick it up after weeks of dragging along on the mill in recovery mode. After the second mile, I didn't even notice the rain anymore. Jim finished ahead of me and came back to run in with me toward the finish because he's awesome like that. Last year after this race was the first time he kissed me :-* 1 year kiss anniversary! That's a thing, right??? :-)
