In the race, I was doing pretty well, nicely paced, not stressed out in breathing & whatnot. My knee started acting up around 15K, and I gave it time to rest. I made it through the remaining 6K by running a bit less, and walking a bit more. My knee lasted with no real pain. My time wasn't great, but not only was it quicker than my last half, but I enjoyed it way more than Chilly.
I purposefully tried to put myself in a positive frame of mind, and smile a lot, and it worked. It helped that it was a beautiful day. It started out cold & dark clouds seemed to be rolling in, but then the sun came out. I even got a bit burnt. It was windy, but sometimes the wind was at my back, which was nice.
Unfortunately, my body aches today.
