Back it up a week...

Let's back up a little to the past week.

Well, last Saturday I ran my second half marathon! The Full Moon Race from Plymouth to Sheboygan.

This was a night race - it started at 6:30 p.m. and I am so glad it did. Saturday was one of the first really hot, sticky, humid days of summer, and I am so thankful that I didn't have to run much in the sun. I wrote a full recap for Tom's blog, so to keep from repeating myself, just read about it here.

I finished in 2:04:03. Slower than my first half marathon last May in Madison (that one was 1:58:52 or something around there). But it was a pretty course and I knew I wasn't in as good of shape as I was then.

I felt awful after the race. My stomach was queasy and I ended up puking on the car ride home. My whole body was sore the next day. I took a couple days off to recover. And then my training fell off the track and believe it or not, I did not run again until my 15-miler. Bad deal.
