As I was on my trauma rotation and had to work most weekends, and also given that half marathons are scant in July, I wasn’t able to do an official 13.1.  So instead I strapped on my Garmin and ran for 13.1 miles!  It wasn’t so bad, and I wasn’t pushing it too hard given that my training has fallen off recently.  I think in the end it took about 2:20 and my route was just from my house and all around Pacific and Mission beach and into Mission Bay.  It won’t be an addition to my finisher’s medal collection but I don’t mind.  No finisher’s pics either, but no love lost there!  I’ve got the America’s Finest Half Marathon coming up next weekend.  I had hoped to break 2 hours for this next one but I’m not sure if I will as I haven’t been training appropriately.  Should be fun :)
