13.1

Sunday May 15th I ran my first half marathon. I was 2 hours and 16 minutes which was just at a 10:30 minute mile pace. I seem to always be able to go faster in races then I do in training. (I guess that's normal.) I was nervous because I really hadn't gone much further then 10 miles in my training, so I wasn't sure if I could make it! 

Luckily the weather was perfect for running (not so much for watching). It was in the low 50's, cloudy, and slightly misting. *not sure if misting is a word :)

The first 10 miles were not bad at all and went by rather quickly. Not gonna lie, the last three were a little tough. It did get very windy and cold running on the bridge coming into downtown Cleveland. Although the race wasn't as nearly as tough as I thought it would be, it definitely was a great feeling to be done!
