Ran this with a pulled Achilles - not the smartest. I almost quit at mile 5 and wanted to cry of disappointment and walk the rest of the way as my leg was throbbing. I thought I’ll make it to mile 6 and decide. I pushed and pushed. I knew I had people cheering me on; my husband and kids surprised me at mile 11, and I pushed to cross that finish line!! So many hills in this race - so I expected it. Light rain in the morning kept the heat down. Nice to run close to home!
