What a great morning for a run - the temperature was pretty much perfect for the entire race. The plan was to just enjoy myself and work on holding a steady pace - if I could hit 2 hours or go under I’d be really happy.

The first half went great, was running with someone I knew and we were laughing and having fun. Was just under an hour at the half way point and was feeling really good so I decided to start picking up the pace for the second half - it was kind of crazy because each mile kept getting faster and I ended up running the second half about 5 minutes faster than the first and my last mile being the fastest.

The fun part about today is this is actually the race that started me running last year - I ended up injuring myself and never did run it (or do any running for a little while) - but it did make me really think about what I wanted to accomplish and how I could do it. So now I have 2 halfs under my belt and getting ready for my first full marathon in 3 months… wow.

I’m really happy with what I’ve been able to accomplish in the year since I started running and so excited to be looking toward the new year and setting new goals!

With the half marathon tomorrow wasn’t sure this was a good idea but I’m doing it as more of a training run than anything else so…

It actually helped with some of the soreness in my legs from doing strength on Wednesday.  That had been the first time in 4 weeks so I was really feeling it… eek.
