Hey, I beat 2,001 other people!
Never having run more than 4.1 miles, I ran today's Great Race (6.2 mi.) while averaging 9:57 per mile! Given the modest amount of training that I've done, my history of laziness, and some creaky body parts, I'm quite proud of myself.
I felt pretty good throughout. I could feel the ongoing soreness in my IT band (which I had never heard of prior to hurting it), but it didn't bother me until afterwards, when I tried to stand up after the bus ride back to the starting line. That wasn't so good. And tomorrow won't be fun. But the race itself went just fine.
