ACT Half Marathon

Well, today I ran the “ACT Half Marathon” and beat my time from last year by over 30 minutes!  My finishing time was 1:37:31!  That’s a 7:27 mile pace.  All in all, it was a great race.  I felt great and met my goal.  Here a few thoughts from the race….

1.  I wish I would have gotten there a little earlier.  (I had trouble finding the baggage drop and didn’t have much time to warm up.)

2.  I didn’t go out too fast!

3.  I hydrated and fueled well.

4.  Kept my body and breathing relaxed.

5.  Most importantly I had fun!!!

I’m super excited, but now it’s time to focus on my next goal.

On October 29th, I will run the “Spinx Run Fest Marathon“.  It’s time to train hard, lose a little more weight, and get ready to go long.  I’ll try to keep weekly updates on my training from now until the race.

Peace.
