Rock & Roll USA Half Marathon..... DONE!
I'll need to update my ticker once the official time is posted on their website, but according to my Garmin, I hit a PR by a long way! Did stop the clock during the LONG ASS port-a-potty line but made an average pace of 9:40 with total time of 2:08:59..... A-MAZE-BALLS!!!!! I'm so proud of me.... Got one more Half on June 1st (where I don't expect to PR because I'm mentoring for that run, so just trying to get my mentees across the finish line!) and marathon training starts in May for Marine Corps in Oct.
Thanks to all for their prayers for a good run today!!!!!
Rock & Roll USA Half-Marathon Sat, Mar 16, 2013 8:11 AM Eastern Time (US & Canada) By nfarris79 Activity Type: Running | Event Type: Race | Course: -- Awesome race! Ran first 4-5 miles with Melissa, had to stop for LOOOONG line at portapotty and spent the rest of the race trying to catch up with her - apparently I passed her! Took a GU at mile 10, only 1 walking water break for 30 sec. Only did 3 of the water stops, drank entire 20oz handheld. Didn't rain afterall!!! Like · Comments (0) PreviousNext Summary

Woot!! Awesome! Way to go!!! I did a 10k today and whenever I started struggling (hills from hell) I thought about you and how I was supposed to be doing a half, and if I was going to do a half, I better spank that 10k!!
Great job!
