Notes
question: how long does it take me to recover from a marathon? answer: more than one month. I had hopes of holding a better pace today...maybe even a bit faster than Vernonia Marathon pace of 7:50, but it wasn't in the cards. I ran the first half of Vernonia in 1:41 and the second half in 1:44...so I thought I could pull off a 1:40 half. By mile 5 today, I was so far off pace that I had a hard time talking myself into continuing to push at all. The crowd of runners, including a van-full of FG friends, made the event festive...the music was fun, the course was interesting.
