Lori Krausen's thoughts:

The weekend didn’t go as planned for me.
The Shakeout 5K on Saturday was super cold and I was coughing tons and super congested. I decided to sit it out so I could rest for the half on Sunday. They didn’t have my jacket at the Shakeout, so they’re mailing it to me...perfect way to just do the run as a virtual.
Resting Saturday was the best thing I could have done for myself. I woke up still feeling crummy, but a little better. The temp was 32 at the start of the race and 50 when I finished. My ankle has been giving me trouble since summer when I turned it and it decided to pop at mile 5, but I pushed on and kept a pretty steady pace. Overall, the volunteers were pretty nice, the other racers were cool, and the police were good. I did get asked to go on the sidewalk at one point with less than half a mile left even though I was no where close to hitting the race time limit and I let him know that and he said sorry and drove off. 🤔
Yes, I’m a walker and pretty slow but even with everything going on, I somehow managed a PR for my half today. 😯 Did not expect that, at all!
I will suggest this one to others, especially those who want a fast, flag course.
The marathon was just just looped.
