Certifiably Insane
Then came the last 20 yards. The dry heaves started. I have had this happen before and was able to hold on through the finish and not puke. Well, today I made it through the finish, but the clock said 37:02. And then I bent over and puked. I hear the ewws from the crowd, but at that point what can you do.
Champions are made when no one is watching
Debbie -- i was just glancing it your running log and if you can add a couple more days of running, but only run 1 to 1.5 miles on those extra days ---- slow easy pace --- nothing exciting......I'll bet it would make a noticeable difference in your times... Do what you are doing and add two more easy days (if you can work them in) and you will get your 3 seconds (and probably more)....

Thanks for all the words of encouragement. I knew this would be about the only place where my puking could be appreciated. It is the next morning, and I do feel better about my race. Its still not the same excitement as other times I have PR'ed. But I am definitely motivated to try another 5K again soon! As soon as the memory of the pain of this one fades a little.
