Half-marathon tonight. Didn't start until almost 9:30 PM and I'd been exhausted all day. Took it slow and focused on trying to approximate the race course, which meant I made myself run some really nasty hills. The last couple of miles was all uphill.
Stopped at 4.1 for water/gel, 6.5 for the same (then 6.6 when my mom called to tell me my sister was hospitalized), then 10 for water/gel, then 11.1 for a screaming baby who demanded to be nursed and rocked and carried. It was SO hard to start again...but I did and finished out the 13.1, average pace 9:26/mile.
