I felt so differently recently. Fell from the trail run on May 12, then it took me a week to get it recovered. Then I was sick again on May 23rd, had cold and felt very weak. Had Diarrhea on Friday and Saturday. And determined whether I should run the race or not after I got to Ventura.

Felt better when I got there, and told my friends that I had recovered 80%, so I would be able to run the race, and I did finish, with the finish time of 3:41:48. I was so glad that I could finish. This is toughest one, but I got it done.

I learnt from my experience. I should not run a marathon when I was sick. It seemed ok for the body to run a marathon, but actually the body is not ready yet. A few more days rest would be better. I did not feel any energy on the legs after Mile 12. But managed to pull my legs forward one mile after another. And finally I was so excited when I saw the finish line.

I did watch my heart rate during the whole race. I needed to make sure my heart rate should be under 155.
