First run back since Chicago. Wasnt going to run til Monday and only do like 2-4 but John said he was meeting up with Parker, so I figured going for a nice guys family run would be nice. I pushed Landon and Caden for the first 7.5, and had to pass them off after that.

2016 Nebraska Marathon 13.1

The good news, I was able to finish! The hip held up perfectly, presented no real problems during the run (97% before, probably 93% after). I consider that a win.

My overall time suffered, though, b/c I'm "too healthy". I need to lose some weight. I've done it before, it's time to buckle down and do it again. The scale keeps creeping up, and I'm getting pissy/depressed about it. No. More.

Awesome details: Getting to see some many people, both on and off the course, made this so, so, so, so much fun. From fellow participants (Jack Duysen, TMac, Bohldog, BiL, Kelli Vetter, and and and TubE!!) to spectating/cheering peeps (Linny, smilEy, hOg, SnOwRaT and Laurie Halpenny)... apologies if I've forgotten anyone.

Loved seeing those cheering, (sappy CJS alert), it was incredibly spirit lifting.

Race Mug is the Official Nebraska Marathon #IRanWithCarl badge; made by the people behind the race, for me to hand out!! That's cool.


Kudos go out to those who ran Nebraska Marathon, IMT Des Moines Marathon, and any other races this past weekend.

Fun race! Had a delayed start due to the heavy fog, but Scott kept me entertained. Planned on this being a tune up race for the Halfsy and I'm pretty happy with my time. Ended up running with the 1:40 pace group which kept me going the last couple miles when I was tiring quickly. I don't usually run with a pace group, but a good pacer makes a big difference! It was great seeing so many people out there, shout out to all the runners and a big thanks to those spectating and offering support!

NE Marathon (half) - #imnotverybrightedition
Been dealing with bronchitis all week and probably shouldn't have ran this. But, I think the moist air was a savior. Not a bad course, kinda twisty and loopy but not bad.

P.S. Even though I've been on antibiotics for three days and shouldn't be contagious, I tried not to spit on anyone.

Congrats to the 5K, half and full runners at the Nebraska Marathon today!

Song of the day: "If You Could Read My Mind" by Canadian legend Gordon Lightfoot. I did the Toronto Marathon 1 year ago and recalled fond thoughts from my trip then plus 2 other times in Canada.
