Twenty four hours after my first half marathon, I am in lots of pain.  My legs are very sore; it hurts to walk downstairs. It’s the kind of soreness I used to get after running up and down the bleachers at the old Stanford Football Stadium.

The distance of the run wasn’t the cause of the pain, it was the hills. In all, an elevation change of 1600 feet.  Mark had me convinced that it would be easy because the 1600 feet is spread out over 13 miles.  He was wrong. It was brutal!  Physically, it was the hardest thing I have ever done.  I finished 3rd in my age group, and 42 out of 96 overall.  Mark came in first in his age group, and 9th overall! http://www.envirosports.com/results/event/1759/results.php
