Previous best was at the Lewis & Clark half marathon with a time of 2hr 46min 15sec on August 16th, 2007. Ironically, I got my worst time of the year just a week later down in Cape Guirardo at the City of Roses half marathon with a time of 3hr 25min 29sec which was due to an hip injury sustained after completing the Lewis & Clark half marathon. I should have at least taken the next day off after the L&C but didn’t then at the Cape, I couldn’t run more than 3 miles before having to limp the remaining 9 miles to finish. You think I would have learned something by then but the following weekend I felt compelled to ride my bike 40 miles and complete to separate workouts at the gym (with one of the workouts being legs)
so, since that last bike ride weekend (Sunday, Sept 30) I haven’t done anything for 451 hours (meaning through Sat, Oct 20th) and I skipped the KC half marathon today so I’ll get back into things and keep at the hip rehab. My next run is in St. Louis on Sunday, November 11th, 2007.
