i still have a sub 4:30 to chase down but…

4 minute PB

The WORST winds I have ever run in.

Two bathroom stops. Damn my intestines.

Seriously, the hardest I have ever worked on a run. The wind was relentless. I tried to take a salt pill and the wind blew it right out of my hand. Apparently volunteers had to hold the finish line arch down to keep it from blowing down. I think the winds were between 35k and 50k. And we ran well over half of it straight into the gusts. It was nuts but I finished it. I talked to a woman who has done 159 marathons (what?!?) and she said she had never run in wind like today.

I feel like I earned this medal.
