I ran the Indianapolis Women's half this morning, and PRed by 7:10 from my last half 4.5 months ago.
It was hot and humid even at the start, and I'm really proud that I listened to my body instead trying to push myself too hard. Around mile 4 I actually thought that I might dnf.
I signed up on a whim, but I'm so glad I ran this race because it was so well organized. They had wet washcloths at mile 8 (the sound i made when i was handed mine was borderline obsecene), and aid stations every mile to mile and a half. Plus the post race party was kickass. There were mimosas, Bloody Marys, beer, shrimp cocktail, and sandwiches in additional to the usual.
Along the course someone had a sign that said " The heat index today is somewhere between OMG and WTF", it made me really lol. All in all a good day.
