First Half Marathon
Nov 08 2009 16:34

Well its over, I finished the Fort Worth Marathon Half this morning in 2:59:44 by my GPS. Can't believe I broke 3 hrs. With the way I felt I would have been happy with anything less than 3 1/2 hours.

Wasn't in the best shape either, had a head cold, not enough sleep, felt tired and hadn't run much in the last two weeks due to daughter's wedding and head cold. On top of that the weather was warmer than I would have liked, starting temp was about 63 climbing to near 70 by the time I finished, it was overcast - a good thing, but very little wind. I was getting really warm by mi 10. Had to open zipper on the sleeveless vest I wore.

over all - very pleased.

Edit: Congratulations Kristin on completing your Half as well!
