November 5th- Rock n Roll Half Marathon, Savannah,
GA:
My first half marathon!!! Even though This was supposed to be like a workout, I
was definitely concerned about being in a race that was much longer than I'm
used to. I clung to Philippians 4:6-7 the day before and felt really
peaceful the day of. So much so that after a few miles, I felt good and
decided to speed up realizing that if I kept pace, I would qualify for the
Olympic Marathon Trials by breaking 1:15. I remember thinking what a
different type of pain it is to run a half-marathon than a much faster 2 or 3
mile race. The burning lactic acid in the legs and arms may not have
been there, but the overall ache in my whole body sure
was!!
Time-1:14:32
Place: 2nd Overall
1st American
