It's been a few days since the run, and it was another good one. There is one bit of bad news though, I didn't meet all my goals. At first it was disappointing, but after thinking about it I'm OK with it. If I always met all of my goals, I wouldn't be setting my goals high enough to really challenge myself.
Before I get to that though, check out this picture from the start of the race.
Downtown was fogged in that morning, which gave the start of the race a creepy feeling. When I reached the top of bridge, I was above the fog. It was clear at the top, but then I couldn't see the ground, just the top of the fog a few feet below the bridge. It was one of the coolest things I've seen, and I should have stopped to take a picture, but you know me, I kept running. :)
Goals
- I did it, I crossed the finished line. I probably read it somewhere when I signed up, but I was a bit surprised when a woman handed me a medal.
- I am very proud of myself. I trained hard and it payed off. It was a tough run, but I did it and finished strong.
- Done!
- This is the goal I didn't get. I finished in 1:04:34. This puts me at a 9:50/Mile pace, which is 20 seconds/mile behind the pace I was shooting for. This sets up my next goal nicely though, I want to get this time under an hour, or a half marathon under 2 hours. It sounds a little crazy when I put it out there, but then again 6 months ago a 10K was a little crazy and now I've done it!
