| It was a beautiful morning for a half marathon with temperatures in the upper 40's at the start. Overall, the race went well as I had my best time for this particular race. I was less than a minute off my pr, which in my opinion is pretty darn good since this course is quite hilly and my pr was set on a flat course. I had some technical problems early on as I thought my watch was ready to go at the start. My watch wound up being about .4 of a mile off from the race, therefore, I used the watch for pacing instead of exact time. I did start out too slow, but was able to correct things by about the third mile, where my splits were finally coming under a 9:00 minute/ mile pace. The hills started around the 5.5 mile mark. For every hill we went up, we either leveled off or went down and then waited for the next round to begin. This lasted until the end where during the last mile, we went up, leveled off, went down and then leveled off, running around our infamous Sanford Stadium to finish the race. I had a feeling my time would be decent when I could see the finish line before entering the stadium, and told myself that I could get under where I thought I would be. My husband was there to see me at about the final 1/2 mile mark and then met me at the finish line. I am always glad when it is done, but it was a really good race and way to start the day.

| This was my first run post half-marathon. My legs were alright at first, but then wondered what I was doing. I just tried to enjoy being back at it again and the shorter distance.

| I was back outside running again. I kept the mileage at 3, since the legs are still adjusting after the race on Sunday.

| I was back running with my running buddy this morning. The weather was comfortable and the run was slow, but since this was my first long run since last Sunday's race, I was alright with it.
