After months of training, the half-marathon finally happened! My goal was just to finish, preferably before the 4 hour race limit. I was shocked when I crossed the finish line with an official time of 02:19:03!! I couldn't believe I ran 13.1 miles, let alone run it at an average pace of 10:30 minutes/mile. My best friend Heidi came in from Seattle to run the race, and she set the pace for the first half of the race, pushing me and encouraging me to keep going. We got mixed up in a chaotic water station at the half way point, and so we split and met back up at the end of the race. She had an impressive time of 02:07:08. This was both a first time race for us - I am so glad that I did it.
