Snake River Canyon Half Marathon 2011!

[shyviolet15]

Well, I did it! Took me 2:26:30, which is great because my goal was to do it under 2:30:00. Weather was great, got a little warm at points. But I think was as good as I could have hoped for. I did great for the first 10 miles then the last 3.1 were ROUGH! My lower back started spazzing, it hurt so bad to move! My longest run before then was 10.

That's awesome! congrats!

Did he run with the cat, or just bring it along to watch?

[shyviolet15]

I'm not positive, but I think he was just hanging out. He had jeans on so I'm pretty sure he didn't run.

Congrats! It looks like a beautiful spot for a run too!

It really was, I would definitely do that course again.

Congratulations, that's a really great time.
I ran in a half marathon in spring last year and uh... let's just say I wasn't nearly as fast.

[shyviolet15]

Thank you! That's awesome you've done one too! It's really about getting out there and doing it. Time doesn't matter!

That's what I keep telling myself, too - but if I ever do a half-marathon again, I'll try to do it a little faster. For me, running is a bit like meditating, that's why I always run roughly the same route and the same speed.
