Did I jog?

[Andrew Chandler]

Well, I ran a marathon this weekend. Flying Pig marathon. It was absolutely horrid.
1) I didn't plan it well in terms of pacing the Eden Heights.
2) I ate at a mysterious italian resteraunt the night before and had a case of Montezuma's Revenge.
3) I suffered a stress fracture on my right foot and kept running.

Now I made the halfway in under 2 hours... but ran the second half 2:15. For a total of 4:15. That's well above a 9 minute pace (the benchmark for me for jogging). My question...

Even with feeling sick and not being able to hydrate... even with have a fracture in my foot that was driving me nuts... did I jog it or run it?

I can guaruntee you, I tried my best and in the end... I finish... even if I had two finish lines... the actual line and a line of paramedics.

Dude, in my book, jogging is any pace above walking that does not make you suffer. When you're in pain, when you're focused, when you can't carry on a conversation you are running. You ran your ass off and a good run is more than just having a good finishing time. You can look back on this and say you did it and it took all you had.

You were just slowing down, not jogging. You just had a bad day - it sometimes happens. So don't be too hard on yourself. I admire your grit and guts!!!
