13.1, or How I Spent My Sunday

Yup, I participated in my first Half Marathon this past Sunday. Went very well. At about mile 9 I felt a blister let go on my right foot. This coincided with my hips deciding it was a good time to get very stiff. I pulled over and checked foot just to see if it was bleeding. No blood so I stretched and hit the course. My goal was a modest 2.5 hrs. My time was 2:37. I'm pleased. I plan on continuing my training and running more this year.

The female/male ratio was about 2:1 or more. More hot chics than you could shake a stick at! Found a group running with a 2:22 sign for pace. Ran with them for probably 6 miles.

Oh, I don't have a real "run playlist" on my iPod. Just set it for for shuffle and I'm off. Right after I crossed the starting line I turned it on. First random song? Pink Floyd, Run Like Hell. "Too cool" I thought to myself. Then as I made the turn for home and last 3/4 mile or so, the song "In The Flesh" came on. Not really a "run" song, IMO, but a nice finish to a great run.

Hope to be in San Fran for the Bay to Breakers in May. A bunch of us went last year. Good times.
