Well, First, I had a good overall run. Left knee ached a little about mile 8, but no ankle pain. I never stopped running. I was hoping for a time between 1:45 to 2 hours, and I ran 1:53:42. It was the biggest race I have been in, about 1400 runners!! It was hard in the beginning to not run over someone or get run over! After mile 2, things got better!
I'm realizing, I'm not much of a distance runner. I can't push myself for the whole distance. I didn't start pushing it till mile 10, then at mile 12, I really pushed. I think I could have pushed harder sooner for a better time, but I was worried about pushing too soon. But this was my first half marathon and if I do more, I will learn how and when to push!
I liked them way more than the marathons!! So, I will be doing more of them, for sure!!
