Philly Half Marathon!

November 20, 2011 by Kristy 17 Comments

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….

    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. 🙂

    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! 🙂

          (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!!!

    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 🙂
