The three of us went out to the riverside for a short jog and some play time. I am super ridiculously sore after how i ran yesterday. Probably not much running until I get myself fixed up

Queens Half Marathon
2 days before this half marathon i suffered a hernia at my summer job. While it is painful and uncomfortable, it was not quite at the emergency level, although it will require surgery. Nonetheless, i wanted to at least participate in this race, even if i had to walk it. So, i started off slow, about a 7:15 first mile ( I normally come out about 5:45) and then followed with a 7:00. In order to run, i had shortened my stride by half so as not to agrivate my injury. Feeling comfortable with this pace, i decieded to slowly increase my pace. As the miles went by, i passed runners left and right who had zoomed past me earlier. By mile 7, I had reached a pace of 6:05! I was still uncomfortable, but holding togther. By the finish, I had a clocked a 1:24:34 and placed 36th overall out of nearly 5,000 runners and got 7th in my age group. I was floored by my performance and exhausted with the strange running form I had adopted. I now eagerly await surgery and a full recovery.

Late night 6
Squeezed some time in to get 6 miles in the park before it closed for the night. Sometimes, that's the only time I have to run. Nice easy 6, 100% humidity, but no rain...yeah, the tropics!!

Easy morning 5
Finally getting back in the groove of things, I have taken the past few days off to recover from the long trip down south and the ensuing brutal 2 day drive home. Hope to get in 2 runs a day this week
