Ran 15.5 in 2:25 with my 22 yr old nephew and his 23 yr old friend. I made them walk a bit because I was feeling so sick, so we weren't all that fast because of a bit of walking. I felt like I had the flu on the run and they kept talking about how hungry they were and how everything smelled so good as we would run by different restaurants. My nephew ran a 3:30 at his last marathon and he only ran once a week with me for the long run. I can see why qualifying times are different for gender and age. I will run for months in hopes of coming close to a 3:30. We went out to Cafe Rio after and I had the chicken salad. I didn't feel like eating at all. I felt sooooo sick! They both downed big burritos and were still hungry. I came home and jumped in a hot tub and felt like I was going to throw up. I am finally feeling better after laying on my bed and making myself eat some wheat toast and milk. What am I doing? 15.5 about did me in today!!! I am wondering how I EVER ran a full 26.2! |
