Couch 2 Half Marthon..... DOMS is a sounds like W I T C H

I completed my 4th consecutive Jazz Half marathon Saturday.  This was definetely the toughest of the four as I was unable to train due to a meniscus tear.  Here's what my daily mileage has looked like since running the Fargo Half marathon in May (Saturday through Sunday):

13.1

Basically a whole lot of zeros from late May to early October.  Even with all the time off the knee hasn't gotten better so I have another ortho consult tomorrow and will most likely get the knee scoped.

I wore an Ace knee bandage for the race.  I was able to spot myself on the WDSU coverage of the race thanks to the black brace on my knee:

Just call me ACE

 

 

The race itself was very well attended. There was an announced field of 3,100 runners but I believe quite a few were 5k runners as there were right under 2,000 finishers.

 

 

I had much appreciated Blue Bell ice cream at the post race party then headed back home to get ready (recover) for next Sunday's Gulf Coast Half Marathon.  I was able to get Waldo Guacamole to take a break from lizzard hunting to pose with my medal.

 

 

 Where is that pesky lizzard!



Will pose for treats!
