I only go half way aka My First Half-Marathon

I originally posted this on my Sparkpeople blog on 10/14/12.

I ran the Prairie Fire Half Marathon this morning. This is the race I trained for with the Start2finish program for the past 18 weeks. I decided to try for 2:15 so I ran with a pace group. Another runner who I've been training with and I stuck together and went ahead of the pacer after about five miles. My legs felt really good until about mile 8 or 9 when I started to feel some fatigue. Nothing too bad though. Finished pretty strong with a time of 2:13:39. I'm pretty happy with that.

Here I am at the finish!



With my finisher's medal:



Next up? The Zombie Apocalypse Infested Obstacle 5K on October 27th. Can't wait!
