Check!

So I finally achieved one of my New Year's Resolutions with perfection. I ran my first half marathon today. A friend got injured (sorry Julie) and so I ran the Hobble Creek Half Marathon in her place. It. Was. Awesome. Since this is my first half, I didn't really know what kind of time to shoot for, so my goal was under 1:57 which is about a 9 min/mile pace. My end time was...

1:44.47
(I'm choosing not to include the 3 or so minute bathroom break at mile 6.5)

It definitely helped that the first 8 miles were almost all downhill, but I'm happy with the time just the same.

I can't wait to do another one.
