great Wisconsin Half Marathon 13.22 mi 02:07 09:35 pace

I did it, I completed my first half marathon! Prior to this race I had one 12 miler under my belt, so this is also a new longest run ever! I surprisingly felt really good for the vast majority of this run. I even forgot I was running at times, that is how natural and good I felt. I was pretty much floating along until about mile 10 or so. The last few miles definitely got tougher. Mile 11-12 was the hardest, but I pushed through. I knew that whatever I felt like then, the feeling at the finish line after I didn't stop would be even better. I even had enough in me to push it for the finish.

All our Garmins registered an extra 0.1 miles or so, so that's why it's 13.22 instead of 13.1. The time listed is my Garmin time. I had to make a quick bathroom stop (which I stopped my Garmin for), so my chip time was 2:08:26.

Splits: 9:36 9:38 9:29 9:31 9:21 9:30 9:44 9:47 9:47 9:32 9:43 9:48 9:46 8:09 (for the last .22)

Awesome, awesome day! It was so great to experience this with so many friends by my side. This will definitely go down in the books as one of the best days of my life.

    Super duper job today. To be succinct, you pretty much just kicked a lot of ass and took a lot of names.

    Hell yeah! We did it! Isn't it fun to think back to the conversations we had last fall/winter before we started running? "So... we're signed up for a half marathon. Did you start running yet? Me neither. I don't know if I feel like doing it..." Looks like we proved ourselves wrong! SO AWESOME.
