Met up with Michelle, Travis, Mack and Aubrey in SF and we ran out to mile 7 of the SF half course. The plan was to run 5 miles at a 6:20 pace. I was not feeling up to running fast at all. My legs have felt so heavy lately. We started and Michelle and Travis had a slight lead on me, I was feeling comfortable at the pace that I was running. I seem to run better when I start out slower and then I can finish strong. Travis and Michelle were running good, I was thinking about throwing in the towel at mile 3. My stomach was not feeling good, but I hung in there and thought ok I will go to mile 4 and then stop. They had a good lead on me now, and I was thinking to myself, I don't think that I have lost that much of my speed, but I think that I have lost a lot of desire to want to run fast. Kind of like Ricky Bobby (JK) So if someone wants to come and put a cougar in my car let me know....ha ha. I decided to stop being a whimp so I dropped the hammer and passed Michelle with about .5 to go. I caught Travis about .3 to go and then we finished together. Michelle passed us, because her watch read that we stopped to early by about 70'? So I guess that she won the race...jk
