SF Half Marathon

Ran in the 2012 SF Marathon - but only the 1st half marathon.  Finished in 2h01m10s.  Better than I expected going into the race, since I haven't been running much.  But not as good as I wanted to run.  I wanted to break 2hours.  The golden gate bridge portion of the race slowed me down too much.  It was too crowded, and I was dodging people left and right trying to go by.  The adrenaline from racing and the motrin before the race seemed to help a lot, since I was not feeling that much pain in my foot or knees.
I may have to try running in a half marathon event, rather than by myself to see how I would do.

It's alive!

My little brush with ED is now over.  Everything is back to normal working condition.  It probably was the cycling that did it.  All I did in the past month was cut out all the long (2+ hours) bike rides.  I still ride my bike to work, play tennis, run, walk, hike, swim.  About a week ago, everything was back to normal.  I am relieved that this was just a brush with ED and nothing more.  Hopefully I won't have to deal with this for a long time.
