| Cambridge Half: The last Medal of the Season |
I don't have much to say about this race. I wasn't fully prepared; I wasn't recovered from New York; I wasn't trained to really run fast.
The fourteen hours leading up to the Cambridge Half the sky opened with rains of near biblical proportions. (Not really biblical; but it rained a lot).
The two weeks leading up to the Cambridge Half I ran only 6 miles; having run 26.2 miles on two Sundays before.
The two months leading up to the Cambridge Half my training was weak at best.
Five months before the Cambridge Half I had my seizure running to work and haven't quite gotten back into any groove since.
Alas, with my muddled summer and my muddled training, this race was not going to be good.
It wasn't it fast; but I did kind of enjoy running through the mud and through my town. If I had started out slower and ran for fun from the beginning, I might have enjoyed it more.

But now I can close the door on my tough 2017 season.
November 27th launches my #Mission26 - 20 weeks to Boston Marathon. I plan more strength training. I'm taking the 30 day challenge for improved running form. I plan to lose a few pounds. But these are all pie in the sky plans right now. My legs are still stiff and sore from New York and Cambridge.
Hopefully, I can find that groove again;
hopefully, Baystate Marathon 2016 wasn't the end...
