Aug. 19th, Sunday, Last Day fo Freedom!

Today, much like last week was very hot!  Even with a 7 AM start, the heat was obvious before we reached mile one of the AFC half marathon!  Here is a photo of my friends and I before we left Cabrillo National Monument before the race:

We all did ok considering the heat!  Jen & I ran slow and she was having some issues with her foot so I went ahead and managed to do alright despite the heat.  The important thing was getting in the 13 + miles under my belt!

I ran with my Natalie & Amanda shirt as this was the race I made it for, 2 years ago.  They definitely helped me get through the heat along with the nice people hosing us down, the misters set up by OMBAC and a cheeseburger (mini) from Ms. Emerson!

I have the map of the run in case you aren't familiar with the America's Finest City Half course.  Well that's all for now!  I plan on doing some longer runs (double digits) to keep me close to on pace during the season.  In another week or 2 we should be doing some longer runs and the mileage won't be as big an issue as it has been.

We had breakfast at the Waterfront afterward and took a few cheesy pics!  Another one in the books! Did I forget to mention that school starts tomorrow?!?!?  AUGH!!!!

Total Miles:  1374.58   Pace Runner:  1275.37   +  99.21 miles  

Love you Mom & Dad!  <3
