Memories:
Thankfully I remember coming back from illness to run the Double Half ages ago, so I felt ok giving this a try 5 days after COVID! I wasn't honestly even sure if I would be able to do it. I figured: the hotel and race are both non-refundable so I might as well go out to Cape May since the weather was going to be SO gorgeous this late fall weekend.
I felt ok in the morning so I decided just to run and see how far I could go. I was super conservative, doing 15:30 intervals. Yeah, I was at the very back of the pack, literally dead last, for the first two miles. People were very kind! I just kept doing my thing though, being very cautious, and the miles just kept ticking off. Around the halfway point I realized I could probably do this entire distance. Somewhere around the turnaround near the WW2 tower, I realized I was probably going to get it done in the time limit provided. Around the lighthouse, I realized I was going to be able to get done with time to shower!! Woo hoo!
I really treasure this medal and my inner strength/fortitude, getting over my pride, etc to get this state done!
