Little Miami half marathon
I am not a very good race report writer and not much to say on this one. I let my legs rest last week to go in fresh but it didn't help much. My goal was to keep a 10 min pace and did that up to mile 8 but fell off hard after that. I wanted 2h10m but struggled in at 2h23m. 10 min faster than my trail half last year but this one was very flat. The humidity and my allergies killed my as I found myself weezing and coughing from about 6 miles in.
I finished 181 of 314.
I finished 181 of 314.
No longer about weight , it's all about living.

Sorry you are disappointed in your performance. I can tell you that I am impressed as all get out.
I hear you on the weezing, and I can't believe you finished if you were struggling from mile 6.
I think this is a HUGE accomplishment in a tough year for you!

a 10 min PR is a 10 min PR... congrats! great job through tough conditions. humidity is the number one most uncomfortable/toughest weather condition to run through, it really messes with your body's ability to cool itself. awesome finish nate, you should be proud.
Where are we going?? And why am I in this handbasket??
right now. somewhere. somebody is working harder than you.
