Notes
24F 73%H 17DP, The Atlanta Half Marathon. Was scheduled to do 2wu+6MP+2cd but ran the race instead. Plan was to do 1wu+6MP+6.1cd. Was trying to avoid doing MP where the major hills started around mile 7. So, those 6 miles averaged out 9:52 which is ok because of the hills and my weight of 172.4 = 22.4 over = 44.8 extra seconds = MP of 9:44.8. I started to speed it up later on some of the down hills and especially at the finish. I had plenty of energy, but I had a sharp pain in my right groin muscle, so I just cooled it. Besides, I didn't enter this to race it but just to partake and to treat it as a training run so that I can still run tomorrow, Saturday, long run on Sunday, etc, etc.
Lucked out with the weather in that the wind stopped just about the time we got there, so even though it was cold there was no wind. Wore shorts, long sleeve shirt, jacket, knit hat, neck warmer and gloves with liner. Got up at 3:45 and left the house just about 5:00. Second car there and the door to Fleet Feet was unlocked right after I got there. I met Erinn Waldo who was doing her first half and she just broke 2 hours. Happy for her.
I was number C11182.
