My first half marathon in 2014 and post surgery - Rain Run

To celebrate my 6-month surgery milestone, I raced in my first half marathon.  I couldn't be happier with the result!

Time:  2:04:41.1
Pace: 9:31 / mi
48/139 in my age group
219th overall / 540

The track workouts, the taking it slow on the Long Slow Distance runs on Saturdays, the cross training, and the patience all paid off.  It felt great to check off the first milestone of the year!

My legs felt great and felt strong.  It gave me hope that I'll be able to PR in Lake Sammamish Half in March and gave me confidence that I'll be able to continue strong with my training for all the marathons and triathlons I have planned.  

Thank you for all the support I've gotten along the way!
