Oh, and bloody hell, it was the coldest Halloween in history here in Houston (so much for global warming) - I probably could have flown to NYC and ran in better weather. But it is done and Strava confirmed I completed the challenge - so I think I am good to go for next years registration - pending full verification.
I think you may be looking at 2018 results. I limped in yesterday with 3:21. I was right on pace until the half, slowed down because of the pain in my fibula (the one I broke during my May marathon), and around mile 18, I made a deal with myself to slow WAY down and take walk breaks. If I continued the way I was, I know my leg would be broken and I am not going through that again. If it really started to get severe, I was going to drop. I am pretty sure I had a stress reaction going on before I started and thought I might get away with it. Nope. I am home and icing and elevating it today. It isn't swollen, so probably just a stress fracture.
I got home yesterday by 8 am and took a long walk in the early evening. It was very slow and a neighbor down the street asked what was wrong with me because I was limping (I swear I have a natural limp all the time anyway from my never ending foot problems). Today I managed 75 minutes at an easy resistance on the elliptical and took a short walk tonight. Running is out indefinitely.
