Historic Half

I ran my first post-partum half marathon last weekend and it went really well!

My official chip time was 1:58:12 which was a 19 second PR.  The course was beautiful but really hilly.  The first ~6 miles were constant up and down hills that were tiring but not horrible.  The next ~3 miles were relatively flat but the final 4 miles were some really big hills!  The worst was "Hospital Hill" at mile 11... yep, it was as bad as it sounded.

Somehow, through all the hills I managed to persevere to a PR.  Yay!  Such a good feeling to be back in shape and running great races again!

Great medal!

The finish line:

These were staged about every 50 ft starting about a quarter mile from the finish.
