Year of the Sneaker- Surf City 1/2 Marathon

me getting my run on

This Sunday, I ran the 1st 1/2 marathon's of the Beach Cities Challenge with Scott and my L.A. Marathon pacing group. One down, 2 more to go. I feel, tore up from the floor up. I've been running long distance in training, and I didn't feel as bad as I did after this race and as sore as I feel now. But that's my own damn fault:

- I didn't do good enough stretching

- I haven't been consistent with my weekly runs (when training for long distances you should be doing short runs 3 times during the week)

- I didn't hydrate enough

BUT I finished, and even though I swear I'll never run again after I finish a race, I'm pretty excited about the second of the Beach Cities series (1/2 Marathon in Orange County). The LA Marathon continues to scare the shit out of me.

And the song that brought me home (makes me think of my upcoming wedding)
