Finished my first Half Marathon!

It was an amazing experience!! Everything exceeded my expectations: from the race, how well Ben and I did through the entire race, how awesome it was to run across the bridge and back and across the city, beating the time I had set for myself, and how great it felt at the end of the race.

So, what was my time?! I finished it in 2:13:01! I averaged about 10:05. Here are all the stats:

Overall: 3274 out of 8428
Women: 1431 out of 5006
F 30-39: 545 out of 1734
Age/Grade: 49.65%
Place: 3315
Finish: 2:13:01
Pace: 10:09
Tag Time: 2:13:01
Gun Time: 3:21:58

Split Times
7.6 M: 1:16:31
Pace: 10:05

It really is amazing to think that in 7 weeks we went from not running at all to now running an entire half marathon. I'm thrilled that I have now found a new way of exploring this beautiful city and am looking forward to exploring new cities.

Keep an eye out for me coming to the half marathon nearest you! :-)
