My mom came over the night before as well as stayed at my location since she was running the 5K. So race morning was more fun than normal having somebody to go with.
I did the normal pre-race iced coffee as well as brought along some cereal in a baggie.
I online quite close to the race program starting line so I didn’t have to get up as well early. It was simple to get up get prepared as well as get to the starting line.
Lexus lace-up Reese’s are remarkable for a ton of reasons. They take publish race advantages to one more level …

Half marathon at this place is new. Last year there was a 10K as well as a marathon relay. So this race program was new to me even though I run in this area a great deal I hadn’t run this program before.
I like running in Irvine. It’s not incredibly gorgeous like running at the beach however there’s as well many parks as well as walking paths that it provides you a great deal of options. as well as Irvine was just recently named the number 2 finest location in the U.S. to raise a family!
Anyway… the half Marathon program was a mix of running with communities as well as on one of the bike / pedestrian trails. It’s not an actual dirt path – it’s a road race, however this path is called a trail.
I would state it is in the middle as well as terms of challenging… It’s not hilly however there are some rolling hills – particularly when you are running on the path considering that it goes under the primary streets a few times.
The weather condition was quite moderate however humid. The marine layer stayed around for a lot of of the race so it wasn’t incredibly bright as well as didn’t warm up up until after I was done.
I haven’t run a race in a while so I wasn’t sure what to expect for myself. I just tried to run strong as well as get in a great tempo workout. I slowed down around mile 5 to switch up my music – something I wouldn’t normally perform in a race however I truly liked however random mix my playlist played for the very first part of the race as well as just wished to hear it again.
Now for the wardrobe malfunction:
I don’t understand when it occurred however in the last few miles of the race I felt something odd in my left shoe. It wasn’t unpleasant so I just kept going as well as didn’t believe about it. Then, it was ending up being to feel more as well as more weird- like I had something in my shoe? I realized it was the insole lining that bunched up beneath my arch. It was just was type of frustrating at very first however slowly got worse as it bunched up more.
At this point I was most likely around mile 10 as well as I wasn’t going to stop take off my shoe as well as readjust it. ultimately it bunched up up until the entire forefoot was jammed beneath my arch. I was using the my Brooks Hyperions which are a extremely lightweight running shoe. considering that there’s not thick sole I felt like I was ripping a hole in the bottom of them as well as I might feel the street beneath my foot! With every step I envisioned the insole using away up until I’d be barefoot!
But the show much go on… or the race must go on?
Point is – it didn’t hurt as well as I understood it would be a huge production to stop, take it off, figure out the problem, repair it – or potentially recognize I couldn’t repair it, try to get the shoe back on as well as begin running again. Hayır. I just wished to keep going.
I wasn’t in pain however having the insole jammed under my arch altered my running gait a bit. (If I had more miles to go I most likely would have stopped as well as fixed it since I’d be a bit afraid I was running with type that might cause an injury.) As soon as I cross the surface line I walked out of the method to the side of the crowd as well as looked at the bottom of my shoe as well as took it off believing that I would see a hole!!
But there wasn’t one. Womp womp.
I just felt the ground so much since the shoes are light. When I took it off I saw that the insole was bunched up in the middle of the shoe. This is never occurred to me before with any type of shoes. I believe it was the combination of them being newer shoes, the weather condition being so humid = as well as me sweating so much into my sock, old-ish socks as well as the world wanting me to have a funny story to tell?
Moral of the story: I don’t understand why that happened. as well as I didn’t make a hole in my shoe or sock.
It was just a extremely random malfunction as well as I’m wondering if it had to make with the socks I was fretting or the truth that it was so damp as well as the sweat dripping down made my socks wet?
Mostly I just believe it’s type of funny as well as random provided I run over 50 half marathons as well as this hasn’t occurred before.
