Notes

Ran my first half!!! I started out with the 2hr pace group, then around mile 4/5 started increasing the pace. I felt fantastic, and kept feeling the energy flow as I kept passing people. I felt great until I passed the 10 mile mark, and then I hit a wall, and struggled the last three miles. Still did better than I thought I would (I estimated 2 hrs), so I am very happy with my results!!! Not much leg pain (thank goodness) other than in the back of my right arch.

I am already thinking I can get a better time, by 4-5 min margin, since I hadn't run that far before... I would like to continue to up the mileage slowly but steadily, and I am sure by the fall, I will run (and not burn out) the 13.1 at a faster pace.

You beat your goal by over 5mins! Great job.

And congrats on your first (of many) half marathon! I knew you'd do well.
