No. 4: Women's Half Marathon

I knew February was going to be a tough month with races scheduled so soon after Carlsbad, but I registered for this race because I had a coupon code and I got a hooded shirt. Admittedly, I was feeling a little lackluster at this race despite the gorgeous weather conditions at the Naval Training Center in Point Loma. Although I was physically ready for another race, I was not mentally ready. The thought of other runners with their girlfriends in matching tutus high-fiving each other irritated me. I forced myself to run for over two hours. Although the course was flat and scenic, I find the multiple out-and-back loops unappealing.
