This year instead of participating in the annual Broad Street Run in Philadelphia we registered for the Long Branch 1/2 Marathon and New Jersey Marathon in Long Branch, NJ. As you can tell by the pictures, it was a rainy, wet day. We didn't let that bother us, even after we arrived at 5:30 am and had to wait an hour for the buses to bring us from the lot to the start line. The start of the race was delayed because of traffic for about 20 minutes or so. I felt great for most of the race but did have some tight quads starting around mile 8, but nothing that couldn't be stretched on a few occasions around the route. I'm thinking the legs were still recovering from the Bassman Triathlon the weekend before. It was actually a really nice/fun course despite the weather. We felt good enough to go for a PR . . . and we ended up getting our PR - 2:15:41 :) Very happy indeed. It was a long day with the trip back to Philly by train but very happy with the results!
