Healthy Writer’s Club: Southern Illinois Spring Classic


Today I ran the Southern Illinois Spring Classic Half Marathon. It is a small race that runs in the country from Lawrenceville, Illinois to the edge of Bridgeport, Illinois. 78 runners finished the half marathon portion of the race. It was a good race and I had a good time running it even though I was not properly prepared for it. I was in training for my full-time job the week before the race and I had not eaten right and not gotten enough sleep. I still managed to finish the race in 2 hours and 22 minutes.

    1. It snowed a little bit today, but the temperature was above freezing so it just melted off.
      Thanks for commenting.
