Chariots of Fire in Nassau County

After all of my complaining about the weather beforehand, I really had to eat my words on Sunday. Even though it was overcast and misting in the morning, the weather could not have been more ideal for running. I shaved about 20 minutes off of my time last year finishing at 4:08. I was shooting for 4:15, so I feel pretty good. When I got to Mi. 24 and saw that I was still well under 4 hours, I try to kick it up a bit. But by that point I was pretty dehydrated and a cramp that I had in one of my hamstrings felt like it was starting to tear a little bit (and today still feels like it may have). But I really had a good time. Right as I was approaching the finish, the sun came through the clouds and the weather got really nice. So we hung out in the park for a little while to cool down and get massages. The only way that it would have been more fun, is if Reagan could have run with me. It was good that I had so many activities last weekend, because I get so bored when she isn’t around. I’m really glad to have her home.
