First Half!

I ran the Frederick half this morning and finished! I was super nervous since allergies pretty much shot my training for the last couple of months.

 Cinco- I see you were much speedier than I was (2:42:33- my Garmin's distance was 13.24 from the start line to finish- I ran it long I guess). Congrats- you are crazy lady!

Anywho-I am super proud to have finished- I just started running in the end of September. It was a pretty awesome course- minus the stupid hill RIGHT AT THE END. Seriously.. the biggest hill of the whole race was in the last 1/4 mile? Oi.

    I'm glad you enjoyed the course. The last hill is killer! I was cursing that dirt track finish too. It was lumpy and I felt like I was running in place. We didn't run on it near as long 2 years ago. My Garmin said 13.31, which isn't surprising with all the turns the course takes! At least it keeps things interesting.

    Yes! The track was terrible! There was an older dude next to me and he mumbled under his breath "They must think we are horsies.." I lol'd.

  • Congrats on finishing your first half, Frederick was my first half too back in 09 :)

    I ran it this morning as well, and yeah, that last hill was pretty killer!
