By

recap  from 2011 Princess Half Marathon, post race party!  Continued from Part 4, end of race recap here. After I got back to the lovely Swan Hotel, this place is awesome, I took a very cold bath to soak my legs and feet.  It felt great.  I then took a shower and discovered the chafing on my back under my bra...OUCH, its a painful way to find it!  But that and one blister on my foot were my only race injuries, not bad at all. Amy came back from her massage and we chilled for a bit.  Jackie … [Read More...]

2011 Princess Part 3 The Year I Ran Injured – “Have Fun Storming the Castle”

2011 Princess Half Recap continued from part 2.... As we passed over the starting line I hit the old start button on my long lost friend my Garmin to keep up with my pace on demand, cool huh!  Since I had been injured, I wasn't running outside and the old gal had not been used in over a month- I sure missed her.  As Amy ran off to hit her pace I felt myself smiling despite the fact EVERYONE was passing me, but had to do my warm up walk for a few minutes.  When the IPOD told me "RUN" I took … [Read More...]

from my Just Julie blog...race recap 2011, pre-race jitters.....continued from Part 1 Before the alarm went off at 3am, I woke up.  Amy stirred as well and we turned off the alarm about 5 minutes before it was to go off.  Time to get dressed and ready to run Princess Half Marathon.

For anyone who can remember, 2011 was my first half marathon training since 2000, that is a whole other story.  I thought it might be fun to post my experience.  The set up, I was training great, never missed a run.  We had a wicked Ice Storm shutting down the city for a week and I didn't train.  My first run after was 11 miles, I woke up the next morning with horrible Plantar Faciitis.  It was bad. I saw a Sports Doc and went to Physical Therapy 5 weeks before the race, essentially, I couldn't … [Read More...]
