Another 13.1

Posted March 9th, 2010 in running by Alex Barberis

So I ran another half marathon. It was the Miami Beach 13.1. Well I attempted to run it. I probably should have stopped when I got foot pain at mile 1. The weather was too nice to pass up…oh well. I got through it and got my medal! I’ll be taking a Brett Favre style retirement from running for a while.

I’m looking forward to running this race again. Hopefully next year I can stay injury free. I’d like to see how I can deal with all the big bridges while not having to deal with pain.

I did it!

I ran my first half marathon this weekend. It was the Miami ING marathon. The humidity was awful but at least we didn’t get the rain that was supposed to hit us. It was tough but I got through it and I’m still standing (sort of). This was a major accomplishment for me. I didn’t think I’d ever be able to do this. I’m doing another one in 5 weeks!
