Pics from Snickers






I found these pictures from the Marathon Maniac site and wanted to share them with yall. This a picture of me with the 5:00 pace group. Our pace leader was named Gabby, holding the sign. She was great. While running with us, she kept conversations with all the runners in our group. She gave us a pep talk before the race and during the race too. She kept everyone pumped and was trying to get all of us to do our best. This was the first time I had a chance to run with a pace group and I loved it. Each split was right on time. We started out a little slow but slowly got closer to pace speed. If you get a chance to run with a pace group during a long run, I highly recommend it. From now on, I will do it.



This is a picture with a group of Maniacs that ran Snickers with me. Center : Stef and next right Greg helped me to pace myself until mile 23. I was on pace for a 4:45 before I completely ran out of energy. Looking back I think I did not use enough supplements. I only took in 4 gummy gels and some electrolyte pills and I think I should have used some gels. Well that is how we learn from mistakes. It is all trial and error.
