Today was my second half marathon in 28 days. I had decided to do both as a challenge to myself and my running. I knew going into today's race I would be just trying to beat last year's time and not walk. I was nervous about the horrendous mile+ hill at the end but I forgot how incredibly challenging the whole course was! At several points between mile 3 and 6 I was seriously considering having Nate pick me up and taking a DNF! I realized though that he was probably still driving over so I had to keep running! The weather started out cool and overcast but became sunny and high 50's by the end of the race. Overall I was pleased with how I did. I improved my time from last year by 13 minutes and ran the entire course...even the evil hill at the end! I finished the 13.1 in 2:00:05...just shy of being under 2 hours! I won't lie...it hurt and was hard but I am glad I did it. I told Nate to remind me next year NOT to run it but I am sure I will...to beat those 5 seconds I was over the 2 hour mark! :)
