Bill's Daddy took a break from studying and ran his first 1/2 marathon this morning while Bill and Mommy went to Portland.
The run went well. The first half was fun to just watch all the people around me running. Second half, I was waiting for the hills. The hills weren't too bad compared to the ones in my neighborhood. Around Mile 11 or so, Big Head Todd faded out on my iPod and I switched it to Led Zeppelin. Good Times, Bad Times helped me ramp up the pace for a strong finish over the last couple of miles. The worst hills come at the end, but that section is one that I have ridden many times on my bike which helped me gauge my efforts.
Next, more training upping the mileage on the long runs and then try to find a marathon somewhere convenient.
