| Race Report: Florida Holiday Halfathon
I knew this would be a tough race. Two weeks removed from a marathon, I still had hopes the fitness was somehow hiding in there ready to magically repair my injuries (and mind) from the last race. It wasn't. I felt drained by mile 4, was bleeding time by mile 6, was dehydrated/defeated/bleeding through my shoe by mile 8, and then began having aching knee pain in the same spot as Tuesday at mile 10. I, however, gutted it out although and finally finished in front of a guy (Larry S) whom I have literally never finished in front of (0-7 up to that point). I wouldn't normally count this as beating him, but he was within 20 seconds of me at mile 10 and obviously in as bad of shape as me, but I just gutted out those last 3 miles to keep him behind me. He pulled it to within 15 seconds or so with 0.4 remaining, however I just wanted at least one moral victory out of this one so I willed myself ahead and out of reach. I've always envied his speed- but never his attitude- so it felt good to end up a couple of seconds in front of him.
Afterwards, hanging out with everyone was a ton of fun so I'm more than happy for making the decision to run this one.

| PM: Ran 3 miles. Then picked heavy things up and put them down in the gym with some 5x5s. Ended it with 2 more miles focusing on fixing my form.
Knee is sore, but the form work helped.

| PM: Kickball game, then ran with Cory. I had to make him go so slow- I felt bad. Then we hit up the gym after for arms and back. So much easier running/working out with someone than doing it solo.
Knee watch: sore, but manageable. Only the last 2 miles were a struggle getting it to lift up while keeping form.
