1/2 Marathon

Hi all,
I ran a 1/2 marathon this morning. It started and ended at Dublin's Jerome high school. The course was through the Glacier park, 1st time I was there. I didn't really like the course, it had too many 'up and back' loops for me. It was so, so, humid... Ugh! I was soaking wet with sweat from about 5 miles on. My shoes still aren't dry. I finished in 1:54 which was OK when all things are considered. It was humid, I ran 16 miles last Sunday and was not rested.

I believe my saving grace was the 2 power gel packs that I brought with me. I had one at 4 and the the other at the 8 mile mark. They really seem to keep me going. I walked through several water/gatorade stops.

Next race is in 9/24 - a 20 miler.. I am praying for a cooler, less humid day.
