Notes

I ran this sick and with only 3 hours sleep. This might have been my hardest race of my life. I ran as hard and as long as I could until I blew up around mile 6. I wasn't planning to run according to how I felt, but after hearing Eleni story with her struggles in her 21 mile run - she inspired me to get out and 'just do it'.

My breathing was affected from my chest cold and legs were dead, but somehow I managed to pull the mental strength to survive this race. Running only 10 seconds per mile slower than last year... felt like major accomplishment to me!

Running smart is usually the best way to go, but today running with my heart is what I needed and wanted to do!

156 place out of 402. 19th place out of 74 in 50-59.
