Survived... but I am still drying off...

Key word here... survived.

Although, it was only a half-marathon it was a challenge.

I am not sure what made this race so hard...

My lack of trainging as I recovered from my plantar issues?

The rain when we got out of the car?

Perhaps, the rain as we ran down to the start line?

Maybe, the rain as we waited around 14 minutes to make our way to the start line because we found our selves WAY back in the crowd?

Or the thousands of people I passed and dodged on my way through 13.1 Miles in which I was never alone?

Or lastly, the very hilly miles 5, 6, 7, and 8?

Really, I am thrilled that I was able to participate and finish this race. More than anything that my heel held up nicely and today as I am writing this there is no pain. This is GREAT news for me as I can look forward to race some triathlons later on this summer as long as I keep up with my stretching and other treatments.

So, all things considered I am delighted and looking forward to continue improving.
