I didn't want to go fast. I weave in/out of people to create space for my training parthers.
Mile 3...Jamie takes off.
The Goddess sees it, but doesn't follow. I keep going, but hate the running factor.
Mile 4--WATER--AWESOME.
Mile 5, strenuous, knowing how fast we are going.
Mile 6--good timing...feeling it. Water break.
Mile 7-9--wooded area--love it. Conversation pace, trail running.
Mile 10--water break.
Mile 11--knowing how far it is. When does this end?
Mile 12--water--awesome. Break. Tell the Goddess...she goes. I follow.
Mile 13.1--Black Eyed Peas--lovely--finish line. Out of nowhere, able to sprint. --2Finish 2 hours, 10 minutes.
