March Madness!
I got some bad blisters yesterday on the 15k trail race. That kinda sucked for today. I drained and taped 'em. Right on the arches too, of all places.
The race today was a hilly 1/2 marathon. And when I say hilly, I mean it. It was near continuous hills. No real flat spots, we were either going up or going down.
I finished in 1:48:52. About 3:30 slower than my last 1/2, but that one was run on a flat course, on fresh legs, with no blisters. So, I'm pretty darn happy with that. It bodes well for 6 months from now when I get run on tired legs again. Though that time I'll have to cover twice the distance I ran today.
Feet are paying me back right now. Walking tomorrow should be fun. Legs are okay, as I took ice baths after both races this weekend. It's a lot harder in the winter time here than it is in the summer to convince myself to get into a tub full of ice. I managed though, and it'll save a lot of ache tomorrow.
Tomorrow, is a rest day. And I'm going to do nothing, nothing at all. And it will be great.

Great race! I don't know you can do back-to-back long events like that, especially with blisters. That is a very impressive time given the rolling course plus tired legs.
