Well I ran the Long Beach Half Marathon this morning! It was really fun. What a great course. The start and finish where in front of the Long Beach Convention Center along Shoreline Drive. We ran over to the Queen Mary, then back to Shoreline Drive, down the bike path along the beach just a little beyond Olympic Pool, we then turned around and back down Ocean Ave. to the finish line! I had a PR of 2h:56m:42s! That is 2 minutes faster than my last half marathon (and I ran this one with a chest cold)!
We stayed on the Queen Mary Saturday night, which was a lot of fun. We had dinner on the ship and a late night banana split to be sure that I had enough carbs to run today! We went back to the Queen Mary after the race where I took my Ice Bath (I ordered 20 lbs of ice from room service, and they delivered)!
I have to admit that I feel a lot better after this race than I did the last time. I am not as stiff or sleepy. I must say that all of the training is worth the fun and feeling of accomplishment that a race provides.
