Today I ran my first half marathon, the Health City Half in Smithfield. We got there late and missed the start by two minutes, but they let me time the race on my watch. I started fairly fast because I wanted to catch up with everyone. I started passing people from the start and continued passing people until the finish. Around mile 5 I probably started slowing down because of the incline. At mile 9 I started a push until mile 11, that's when I started hurting and the last two miles were tough. Overall it was really fun and I got the time I wanted. |
