Left from my house and ran down to the JRP then I basically followed the Riverton 1/2 route. I was amazed when I mapped the run that it is almost exactly a half marathon. It would be interesting to run it with a garmin and see how close it is to map my run. I ran 12.6 miles at an AP of 8:48 then I stopped and walked at the bottom of my hill to cool off. My legs were tired and my shoes were soaked so I really didn't want to run the 1/2 mile straight up hill. At this point I figured I was close to 13 miles but wasn't sure. Now that I have mapped it I won't walk the last little bit to cool down I'll finish out the half and then walk around the block or something. Oh well. Great run. I love this fall weather, although at about mile 8 the rains came and I got drenched. I thought about stopping in at a gas station but figured I'd still have to finish so I just sucked it up and ran. I think my shoes must have weighed atleast 5 pounds a piece.
