"Ben trained hundreds of runners to successfully complete their first marathon. Those of us who benefited from Ben's inspiration and guidance want you to join us in a memorial run in his honor, on some of the same routes Ben led us on for 20 years. Proceeds from the race will go to the Anne Arundel County Auxiliary Police who Ben was a part of for many years, Chesapeake Hospice House who provided compassion and support for Ben and his wife, Betty; the and Rude Ranch Animal Rescue. A new beneficiary this year will be the METAvivor organization for Stage 4 Breast Cancer awareness." (http://www.active.com/running/annapolis-md/ben-moore-memorial-half-marathon-and-10k-2012)
For this run, I did my first pre-race run...I went out two hours prior to start time and ran about 1.5 miles, not hard just a jog. This really helped my lingering bathroom problem. I went before we left the house and didn't have to go during the race. I also didn't eat anything heavy after 3 pm the day before. I think the combination might be the way to go in the future.
I was using this race as part of training...I was scheduled to run 12 miles today so this fit. It was not the easiest route...
Most of the course weaved in and out of some neighborhoods north of the Riva, MD area. I never could get into a rhythm...so I slugged along....
