2:21:05!! I am OFFICIALLY a half-marathon FINISHER!
Posted May 22 2010 7:56pm
Thanks to all of your for the encouragement last night! Surprisingly, I woke up this morning with no nerves. I’ll post a more comprehensive recap once I get some of the pictures my mom and dad took (they were such awesome spectators).
As for my time, I finished WAY ahead of what I thought my pace would be (due to the lack of consistent training the past couple weeks due to my pseudo-injuries). I ended with 2:21:05 as my official chip time, a negative split (!!) and an average pace of 10:47 per mile.
My Garmin Stats:
Total Distance: 13.37 mi
Total Time: 2:24:31 (I forgot to switch off my Garmin right away!)
Mile 1: 11:08 mi/min
Mile 2: 10:53
Mile 3: 10:52
Mile 4: 10:39
Mile 5: 10:47
Mile 6: 11:19
Mile 7: 10:53
Mile 8: 10:19
Mile 9: 10:07
Mile 10: 10:44
Mile 11: 10:16
Mile 12: 10:33
Mile 13: 10:16
.37 of mile: 16:16 (with a sprint for that last .1 of a mile and some walking)
Thanks again everyone for your encouragement along the way!!

I finished my first half marathon this morning with 2:21:17! You weren’t running the St. Jude’s Heroes Half in Seattle by chance, were you?
