#baahalfmarathon#nofilter#is this the real life?#long distance running#sunrise#today was a real case of#i know it keeps you healthy but god at what cost?#the humidity seemed deceptively bearable but by the 10k mark i had a chest cramp that wouldn’t quit#i did finish albeit a full ten minutes later than last year#and last year it was POURING the entire race#but it sounded like a lot of folks had that experience today too#this was basically summer weather and yeesh#just not a good run. felt every one of those 13 Miles.#shame ‘cause i was hoping to beat last year’s time#and i had had nothing but great training runs#not in the cards#and then it downpoured right after i finished#so given that and how awful the weather was last year#methinks this was my second and final boston half folks#and i feel fine about that#with running the beauty of it is that it’s just pass/fail#i finished and got my sweet distance medley medal#i haven’t quite left the couch since#and hey#i get a round two in toronto in two weeks#on a course said to be totally flat#and hopefully we’ll get less humidity to boot!#anyway#the sky was gorgeous this morning#is my point
