Salt Lake City Half Marathon (13.1 Miles) 01:51:04 | | Amazing, beautiful weather. Treated the run like an every day run, kept a nice 8:20-8:30 pace. Talked with people along the way, sang to my music, walked the water stations. GU'ed @ mile 5 and 9...not paying attention :). Sprinted up State Street - and through the finish...fun to pass people when I decided to run a little faster. Over all - what a great, fun run today!! Way to build my confidence - so much energy afterwards too (need to learn how to race I think). Very pleased with the day. Still have a shin splint...lower left leg. |
