It was nice to have, as I never had to break my pace for the water tables, but I think you're right in that it added strain to my back and shoulders. I'm going to do what I can to calm the wrath back there (my friend at work says a good anti-inflammatory is needed), and I'm going to try to get in to see my GP. Pabst will definitely be on the healing regimen!<BR/><BR/>As for being proud, now that it's all sunk in, I definitely am; I don't think I would have considered doing anything like this even a year ago!yeahdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866038911730571481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026983742453631592.post-20058833050228482902008-08-11T10:56:00.000-05:002008-08-11T10:56:00.000-05:00Great job - I knew you would be fine - god - is th...Great job - I knew you would be fine - god - is there way to say that that doesn't sound corny? Here's another shot, still will be corny - but I hope you are as proud of yourself as I am proud of you. I'm thinking about doing the Banco Popular Half as well - I need to see where that fits in the training schedule for the full first though...<BR/><BR/>On the shoulder thing - I remember when I first started running my back and shoulders would get sore -I think it has a lot to do with holding your body in a fixed posiiton for a while, that and carrying the bottle might add more to it. Either way - hit up some tiger balm and a icey cool can of PBR and give yourself a well deserved break.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026983742453631592.post-30673883282715814512008-08-11T10:33:00.000-05:002008-08-11T10:33:00.000-05:00The course was nicely laid out in my opinion.

On the way south we spent most of our time running frontage roads and at times on the ramps and right lane of LSD; this meant that there were hills added to the course during the first half of the race, but they weren't too drastic). There was a brief stretch near the museum of science and industry where we were running right next to those headed back north, but that wasn't too terrible. The remainder of the course occupied the lake path on the way back up to the field museum, and then through the pedestrian underpass that bought us back to the starting point on Columbus. At times the lake path was a bit too narrow (specifically when the walk/run people started to walk and I needed to get around them), but I didn't find myself log jammed anywhere. I think it was pretty intelligently done, and the breeze coming off the lake was much appreciated in the second half of the race. The only thing I wondered at was one watering station that was set up on LSD - it was actually in the lane rather than on the grass and forced those running through to move uncomfortably close to the moving car traffic to avoid those walking/standing for hydration.yeahdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866038911730571481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026983742453631592.post-1919747710270254312008-08-11T09:42:00.000-05:002008-08-11T09:42:00.000-05:00yaaay, way to go, Lisa! tell me about the course....yaaay, way to go, Lisa! tell me about the course. were there traffic problems on the lake front path?juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16475626486014286511noreply@blogger.com
