Mission Accomplished

I am thrilled to report that my 12 weeks of training finally paid off and I completed the Evansville Half Marathon yesterday setting my best PR. This was the 4th Half Marathon that I have completed but the first one that I was actually able to run the entire 13.1 miles. HIP HIP HURRAY!

Here's the official stats:
Time: 2:24:46
Pace: 11:03
5k (3.1 miles): 32:23, pace 10:26
10k (6.2 miles): 1:05:10, pace 10:30
15K (9.3 miles): 1:38:51, pace 10:37
Overall place: 1351 out of 2185

And I thought this quote tied in perfectly..."Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort." - Franklin D. Roosevelt
