My Own Half Marathon

I overslept this morning. and didn't get to Oyster Creek Park at 8:00am. There was actually a cool breeze at first, but it didn't last long. I ran for most of the first 4.5 mile loop, then interspersed more walking during the second loop. I was ready to call it quits after 9 miles, but knew that I had to persist and kept going with intermittent running. I was so relieved and exhausted when I finished. I'm sure that missing out of a few trainings this week while traveling didn't help.
Hopefully I'll be back on schedule.
I really need to get some saddle time in for the mini sprint Tri that's coming up in 2 weeks.
Thankfully my long run is down to 10 miles for next weekend.
