..a half, yep im certainly not BUILT for them
..im certainly not built for running half marathons thats for damn sure!!!!!!!!!
in the warm up my flexor was a bit sore which had me worried, but the flexor was okay for most of the race, However, my feet went numb at about 4kms which is rather annoying, but at 6kms things went from bad to worse and the feet started aching, like not in a small way...really badly aching. and this season i appear to have become a walker. i had to walk for 5 steps on about 8 occasion to alleviate some of the pai n. it was REALLY bad.
my own fault- i was wearing near new shoes, but given they are brooks that i have worn for years i thought it would be okay. what i did forget was that sometimes when i start my new brooks my feet go a bit numb til they start to mould to my feet :(
i felt like i was going to cry i was in so much pain. i gave up on the sub 100min pb early on, not nice conditions anyway, windy and i have no ticker and should stik to 800m.
the course was 200m long and i missed my pb (1.43.17) running 1.44.17 or something
shocking shocking run and this WINTER has been a BUST for me. no pbs :( but i am getting close to my times of last year at least
have just been doing homeowork and i am totally tired now. i think i want chips for dinner :)
whoever invented stupid half marathons
oh and the flexor got tired about 16kms
here are my splits : will update later when i get my garmin-its more than 2 m away so too far

I want chips for dinner too, let's both have chips!!
My take, you did bloody well on your training volume, I have no excuse for being 15 seconds behind you, none at all!
How many other 800 specialists were out there today knocking out a HM without the specificity in training for the event? Not many I reckon.
Now, about those chips......
That extra 200 sucked, I wouldn't PB'd by over a minute without it.
sorry, "would've" - still can't type properly with my buggered thumb
That's an awesome effort to keep going through all that windl and pain, you've more ticker than me gal, I've backed out of my HM!
Yeah, stick to the track. 400 to 5000 is your forte. Tell your mean BF to stop making you race half marathons! Like you, I'll be happy when they invent quarter marathons - 10.54875k is about as long as I ever want to race!
HEY em, i read it as 'wouldve'
and im an 800 runner not as specialist(im sure you have to be good to be a specialist...lol)
ewen-ep 1/4 would be good
I hope you got your chips- I think you deserved them! You are still very speedy my friend and I am super impressed with your time especially considering you ran most of the way in pain.
