I was able to complete the Hospital Hill half on 6/2/12. This was an accomplishment.
I hurt myself badly on 4/21 at the Free State Trail run, at about 10 miles of 13.1. I mostly walked the last 3. I tripped, didn't fall, but my fall avoidance caused a bad muscle pull in my right leg where the hamstring connects to the glute. I totaled my mileage from 4/22 to 6/2: 14.5 miles. Not exactly proper training. But I biked 140 miles. So I was in OK shape. I took it slow, finishing in 2:35 on my GPS (which stops when I stop) or 2:39 chip time. Chip pace was 12:08. this is actually faster than some of my 5 runs while I was injured.
It was a great cool day. I'm happy I took it slow and finished. I walked when I needed to. I hope to run more, but it looks like 2 bike rides this weekend, Clocktower and Fountains.
