Another Philly HM in the books…
Did I run a sub-1:45 like I wanted? No.
Am I disappointed? A little. I know I can run faster!
Am I already looking for a Spring HM to finagle into my Boston training? Absolutely!
Garmin stats:
13.35 miles
1:47:28*
8:03 avg pace
*A 1-minute PR from the Philly RnR in September!
Lots more to come. I met some wonderful bloggers this weekend and spent about 90% of the weekend talking and thinking about running. Absolute heaven. But for now, I have some Miller Lite to drink 🙂
I leave you with this….
Congrats!
congrats friend! love the pup pic 🙂 enjoy your afternoon!
That time is fantastic! Even though you were a little off from your goal, you still got a great PR and sounds like a fun weekend! Congrats!
That is such a great time! One day I want to run a race at your “not fast enough” pace. 🙂
Congrats on the PR!
Awesome run! I was there too – great day to be out! Did you see the pre-race stretch area? I’ve never seen that at a race before.
I’ve seen it before (I think Broad Street did it a few years ago). It’s strange. Why take up all that room for a stretch area?!? They should have put more porta potties there 🙂
Did you run the half or full?
I totally agree! The porta potty lines were ridiculous from about 6:15 on. I did the half because I ran the NYC full two weeks ago. It was a really fun race, as always! 🙂
Ahh, I do remember you saying you were doing the NYCM! How was it???
(wouldn’t let me reply to your reply, so I’m replying to my own, haha!)
NYC was fun! I did not run the time that I wanted because I had some NASTY side stitches from the halfway point on. My splits were great right up to that point though. Not sure what’s going on, but I seem to get side stitches when I get nervous or worry too much about pace. I signed up for NJ on May 6. I want redemption! Haha!
I ran NJ last year – flat as a pancake – but wear sunscreen (especially on your calves…odd right?!?!). Good luck….I hope you get redemption, it’s the best!!!
I know its not the 1:45 you wanted, but still really stellar!!! Congrats!
We ran similar extra distances- 13.31 here. I tried to get my pup to pose with me and the blanket for the camera, but I think it made too much noise and freaked her out.
Sub-1:45 or not, congrats on the PR, Kristy – and great to see you right before the start!
Hope you enjoyed the Miller Lite 🙂
Congrats on a great race! Hope you’re feeling good today and aren’t too sore.
I love Hawk!
