Completed my first half marathon in over 2 years.  Had a lot of fun chasing after people and getting my butt across the line as quick as possible.  I thought I ran it faster based on my effort, but I didn't look at my watch after mile 8.  I'm way off my personal best, but I was pushing it as much as I could at the end.

Great race! This is a good prep for the marathon.
