Ran the Reagan

Yesterday JR, Todd, and I ran an official half marathon in Snellville.  The race is called, “Run the Reagan”.  David, an old college roomate also joined us for this race.  This was part of our marathon training to get used to the race setting before the full marathon.

It all started well.  I made it to the turnaround half-way through the race in just under 1 hour.  I wanted to finish in under 2:00 hours so I was on track.  At mile 10 or so I crashed.  The second half of the race took me 1 hour and 7 minutes.  The 9:15 average mile I wanted ended up being 9:42 and my final time was 2:06:57.

At least I finished it.  I have the t-shirt and finisher medal to prove it too.  The Gwinnett Daily Post managed to catch a picture of JR at the finish line.  Todd and I must’ve been ghosts.  I’m gonna take the week off and then get back to training for the full marathon next Saturday.
