13. 1 check,

I finished, and I did pretty well for my first 1/2 marathon ever.
Placed 10th in my age category (out of 53)
147th out fo 728 women
and 341st overall (out of 1126)

I would call that an accomplishment and a job well done. I finished in 2:03:03. just over both of my goals. But I did end up with a salt deficency that messed with me for the last 4 miles, and I think without that (and the cramping calf that came with it) I would of broke 2... it was a hilly course, but a beautiful day, a little bit of wind between 5 and 7, (a headwind both ways, how I dont know, but that is what it was) I hit the half way mark at 60:50 and finished the second half in just over 62 minutes, no so shabby. (even though i was planning to negative split)

It went well, I am happy with it, I finished, and I finished in the bracket of time I wanted to finish in. I had no gauge of speed/pace while I was running, I totally would think one thing, look down and realize I was totally different then I thought (most of the time, running faster then I thought I was)

It went well. I am nervous to see how a full marathon goes, not in the forest but on the streets of SF... quite a difference, nervous but excited... once I figure out a way to get salt in me... the salt tablets are a bit to big for me to try and swallow, let alone try and swallow while I am on the run and trying to swallow.

Today I am tired, but i drank lots of water yesterday and walked around, just sore all over and tired.
