I did the half at the Illinois Marathon this weekend. Unfortunately, the humidity kicked my ass and I started having trouble about five miles in, so I ended up walking about 3 or 4 miles. But I finished!
Yipes - an internet friend of mine ran that full and finished half an hour off his goal because of the humidity. It sounds like everywhere from the midwest to the east coast racers were getting slammed with unusually hot and humid weather.
You should be proud that you finished in those conditions!
Thanks! I was kind of bummed at first, because I had been training a lot better than what I did this weekend, but I got over it. :D Finishing means a lot too.
