Out a bit late with Bev last night so only a few hours sleep before getting up to go the half marathon. Actually felt a bit cool as the temp at 6am was still below 70.
6:15am Warmed up on the C&O canal towpath before getting into the restroom lines.

MCRRC: Rileys Rumble Half Marathon. Not much distance or heat work lately so I was just going to run easy. Planned to go out in 8 min/mile pace and see if I could pick it up from there. Weather was relatively cool in mid 70s but still very humid. Did not go quite as planned as I started to cramp up just after the 1/2 way point so slowed, walked, or stretched as needed. Not sure the mile markers were measured accurately since my times were all over and the hills should only account for some of it. 8:34, 8:17, 7:13, 7:40, 8:15, 7:24, 9:09, 9:09, 9:16, 11:33, 9:34, 12:29, 9:45 (1.1 mi) Offical time was 1:59:47 but I figured one last trip to the bathroom before the start was worth starting 90 seconds late.
walk (stroll) 25:00 [1] 1.0 mi (25:00 / mi)

Drank my weight back to 171 and seemed to be ok as far as the leg cramps went. A nap helped also.
11:30pm. Another late night walk with Bev while the weather is still somewhat cool. Gets my weekly milage over 30 for a brief moment. Expect temps in high 90s again next week.
