It was 2:58:2? Can't remember the seconds. I will edit when Striders posts the time.

Well all I can say is YAHOOOO! I was very happy to finish feeling as good as I do. After a terrible half a few weeks ago... this was wonderful. I'm realizing now that restricting my calories in hopes to loose some weight is not good before running a race. It is hard though to want to loose that last 10-15 pounds knowing that running will be much easier and better for my body in the long run. But I'm certain that this was my down fall on the half. I eat much better the past few weeks and made sure I was drinking plenty and it defiantly showed in how I felt.

I could not have asked for better weather. Not too hot... not too cold. I thought the course was good. Loved running by the horses and watching them chase us by the fence. It was almost like they were saying... watch, I'll show you how to do this and how much fun running is. They were fantastic! For me, I love to run when the sun is at my back. As my friend and I were running I would watch our shadows, and think to myself how great it was to be there with her, both feeling strong.

Also congratulations to the top three men, all with their Fast Running Blog shirts on. That was fun to see.

Well my time and my body don't show it... but in my heart and mind... today I was a Kenyan!

Well, your race report brought a huge smile to my face. So thanks, and well done! Wow, great time! BQ is looking really good for you, I'd say.

I though the horses were cool too! It's beautiful country up there. That valley is ideal for racing. Good job today.

Nice job today- we'll give you the honorary Kenyan title of the day!

Thanks everyone, your comments are all so nice. It makes me smile as I'm shuffling around with my stiffness today :)

Good progress. Regarding diet, focus on quality rather than quantity. If you eat a healthy combination of fruits, vegetables, grains with moderate amounts of meat, and completely banish all forms of junk food, your body will auto-regulate the appetite so you will eat enough to have the energy to run and replace the counter-productive weight with productive weight. Being 10 lb lighter helps you run only if you are dropping dead weight. You do not want to drop your blood volume, muscle mass, glycogen stores, bone density and other good forms of weight.
