Greater Hartford Quarter Marathon

Ran the Greater Hartford Quarter Marathon today (6.55 miles), and let me say I ran like an old man with lung disease.  Now keep in mind the longest I have run since last December is 4.4 miles and that was only once and back on March 9.  Other than that my longest runs have been 26 miles, so clearly I was not in shape.

I did however, run without stopping. My official time was 1:13:38. The only other time I ran this race, back in 2009, my time was 1:13:02 ; My second lap was much slower than my first.

I definately need to get in better shape.  This winter has been hard for running, and I have been working like crazy, but I have a lot of training to do if I expect to finish a tough mudder in August.
