Hooray!! So we ran the race on Sunday and it went really well. We did it in 2:54:22, which was fine by me as my goal was to do it under 3hrs. We did the first half in 1:24:40, so we slowed down in the second half, but not too much.
The weather was perfect, the sun warmed us up in the morning and then it clouded over and kept it nice and cool for the full race. It was actually a really interesting experience. As this was my first real race, and there was about5,500 people participating, being with such a large group of people, all running was really interesting, and surprisingly quiet. We got finisher medals and long-sleeve t-shirts and race packs full of goodies which was nice. There are photos up here but I doubt we will shell out and buy them…they are a little expensive.
So now what? Well, Phil and I both decided that the run wasn’t THAT hard, so I wouldn’t be surprised if we did another one in the future. I don’t know about a full marathon though…that would just be sooo long. Who knows though. Right now I am going to take a bit of a break from running and try and mix up the physical activity by getting a gym membership and maybe doing some classes.
