running. finished the half marathon, but not in style. from what i can tell, i need to stretch my iliotibial band. at mile 7, it started to hurt, at 10, it was all i could do to jog. by 11 i was walking, jogging, walking, jogging. a-, my parents, my sister, and some friends were all there to witness my slowest pace. but my dad encouraged me by jogging along with me for a quarter mile.

not to mention the course was brutal. the first 6 miles are almost all uphill. and who would have thought it would be in the mid 70s in october.

oh well, there's always next year. i think i may stay local for next year.
