Race: Hobble Creek Half (13.1 Miles) 01:29:10

Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
3.00	13.00	16.00

ADDENDUM: I JUST looked at results. I would have been FIRST overall master today if I were official by over two minutes!!! Geez. The darn race fills up way too fast and no switching of numbers allowed.

EARLIER report: Up at 4am. Slept 5 hours. Drove up with Kim, Melanie, Kerri and Jane. So better than last year except for the 53 minute late start. However, my PF (plantar fascitis) is not letting up. It hurt like nothing else and eventually sucked in my calf, inner thigh and outer hip area. So much that each mile I told myself "you are only a bandit, you can stop at mile, such and such" . I was so enveloped in my pain that I just couldn't run well. My right leg had to pull my left leg along. How I even talked my brain into keeping to the task I never know except I saw my Ragnar Teammate Amber Sandberg the whole time so I tried to keep her in my view. I passed her at mile 11 rallying her to stay with me, she was not far behind as she came up beside me with .2 miles to go. Then she and I sprinted towards the finish. She didn't know I was a bandit. I didn't turn with her but took the final left turn and went straight rather than make the U-turn to the finish. If I was registered I would have had much more of a kick. Prerace I ran a mile warm up and postrace I ran a two mile cooldown running out and back a mile on the course. By this point my foot couldn't even push off of the ground without it twisting on itself. I iced it in the river with Kim then put on an ace wrap. I am going to a deep tissue massage therapist monday and the chiropracter (they work together). Pain level 8. I have absolutely NO muscle soreness or fatigue. My upper body shows no signs of having exerted myself. I am pleased with this. So IF I had another right leg I really feel I could have run close to a 1:26. Easier said than done. So I will prove myself next year or at the Halloween Half. Splits to follow but it is really hurting to sit for long periods. It seems to be intense sciatica. The splits were quite evenly paced from fastest a 6:25 to slowest at 7:12. BTW this time is 24 seconds SLOWER than last year but I don't feel remotely wiped out. I feel great besides the pain in my leg. This is promising.

That is amazing! Good job being so tough through it all! I think we need to start a protest that they need to start on time! But it was a fun day!

From Burt on Sun, Aug 22, 2010 at 00:34:56 from 68.225.214.248

Wow Julie! Sorry about the PF.

Great job Julie! You rocked it anyway--have you tried taping yet? I know compensating for my PF led to problems in the opposite hip so get it taken care of!

From allie on Sun, Aug 22, 2010 at 10:16:40 from 174.23.182.80

way to go julie! i heard them say the result of the overall master's winner and i was sure you had beat her time. that is awesome!

you looked strong when we saw you -- passing people left and right! i am sorry i missed talking to you yesterday, but hopefully we can get together soon.

April- I tried some k-tape sample I had but kept putting it on wrong and it quickly lost its stickiness. I am allergic to medical tape so I had to forego. K-tape is latex free which was nice. I did have one piece on the way the instruction said but it wouldn't do any good without the other piece. This was Friday afternoon. I saw a friend at the race practically embalmed with k-tape. It was peeling off in places. Yes got to act fast as it is already taking down my entire leg. Going Monday. And will get more k-tape. Thanks.

Allie- I would love to run a long run with you. I will let you know my plans and see if they match as I work every other weekend including Friday. This week I have to run long on Thursday and next week I can on Saturday.

Great Race Julie, even despite your PF. Sounds like your body is in even better shape than last year then, if we can just get your foot on board!!! Dang! Good luck at the massage therapist, I hope it helps. It has helped me, but my foot is still really painful, I think it's not getting worse though and has improved some. Oh I wish you could have registered so you could get your reward for working so hard! I think you deserve a cookie instead then! :)

From Lindsey Dunkley on Sun, Aug 22, 2010 at 17:35:06 from 75.169.150.178

Fun to meet you at the start yesterday...you ran very strong especially with the PF. Good job :)

From Teena Marie on Sun, Aug 22, 2010 at 22:22:19 from 174.52.45.85

You are so stinkin' tough!!!

Congrats on the Masters Win (even if it wasn't official).

Hope the deep tissue massage and chiro helps tomorrow!!!

You are incredible! :)

Hey, I didn't know you were a bandit! So I guess you weren't breaking any rules by having headphones in at the finish either. Good job winning Masters! Thanks for coming up to introduce yourself at the start too. Now I know the woman behind the blog. Hope your hip feels better.

From Smooth on Mon, Aug 23, 2010 at 12:41:11 from 174.23.203.161

Julie ~ YOU ARE SO STINKIN' FAST & TOUGH! Please take care of that PF!

CONGRATZ on the master win! Too bad the race filled so fast! We need to sign you up quick on races especially the ones with prize $. You deserve the recognition with your awesome talent and resiliency!

From Kelli on Wed, Aug 25, 2010 at 20:24:45 from 71.219.102.155

How do you run through that????

Nice job! I do agree, the race fills up fast and sometimes I do not think it is worth it (they are so unorganized!!)
