March 11th, Sunday

Hi all!

Today was my first major organized run, (>5K) the inaugural SD half marathon.  Ran it with my friend Gary Remiker who was running his 1st half.  We finished in 2:16:30 which was a great 1st effort (& with out his bathroom stop, he would have broken the 2:15 mark!)  I ran around in circles during said break and got an extra quarter mile in!

The course was great starting at PetCo downtown, going along the harbor, through NTC, around MCRD, up Washington St. into Hillcrest, along Balboa Park back down 6th (going down instead of up like the AFC half!) and then finishing in PetCo Park about where 3B is.  The weather couldn't have been better either, overcast & cool!

Here we are with my friend Jen from Uni (who we ran the end with) cruising down 6th Ave about mile 11.  Great day and added 13.38 miles!

Hope everyone who ran today had as great a time as we did.  Might be doing the Wild Animal Park half next.  Have a great Sunday!  Over 20 miles ahead of schedule now!
