    Well, it was a GREAT day to run The Salt Lake City 1/2 Marathon. It was about 48 degrees at the start... Maybe a little to warm & a bit too windy during the last mile or 2. But overall it was a great experience. My goal was to run the whole thing without stopping to walk. And to finish under 2 hours and 10 minutes. Both of which I succeeded in doing. I finished in 2:04:46(according to my garmin...I have yet to see an official time). I felt amazing during the whole race....until around mile 11.5. Then I hit the wall. But I refused to give up...and I refused to stop running and walk....I pushed through it and had a great finish. I am pretty proud of myself on completing my first 1/2 marathon. I am kind of bummed out that it is over now. I am thinking of setting my next goal as a SUB 2 hour 1/2....we'll see???
