I ran Cardiff Half Marathon yesterday and set a new PB (by 8mins!) running it in 2:06:21 I started running last year (my first 5k was November) and this was my 4th HM of the year. My first took me 2:40:10 so have taken 34mins off in about 14 weeks! Sore this morning though :ohwell:0

I ran the Michelob Ultra Half Marathon in Atlanta. I liked this one; it was perfect weather, the event was well organized, the course was great (but very hilly), and the finisher's medal and t-shirt are both very nice. I finished in 1:53:37, about average for me.0

On Sunday, the Clarendon Half Marathon (http://www.clarendon-marathon.co.uk/) in 2:07:57.
First half marathon attempt and I'd only got the all clear from my GP to run it a week before. Six weeks of reduced mileage left me a bit under-prepared.
Lots of lessons there to learn.0 -
Wineglass Marathon Corning New York
Sunday, October 5th 2014
26.2 miles
5 hours and 3 min
goal: to finish
This was my first marathon and I also had an injury (posterior tibial tendinitis with possible tear) so I think I did pretty good! I can't wait for next year...I'd like to get closer to a 4 hour finish time.

Memorial Hermann 10 for Texas
October 11, 2014
10 miles
1:21:37
8:10/mile
260/2,247 Overall
199/925 Gender
20/78 Age Group
This was my first 10 miler and my longest race to date, having done mostly 5K's and two 10K's. This had been my big goal race since May. After some good 5K's in June and July, I set an ambitious goal of 1:20:00, but as the race got closer, I realized that wasn't going to happen. I ran an awful 10K last month where I wanted to average 8:00 miles but I went out too fast and had to end up walking a lot because I was just too exhausted. I was really disappointed in that. But my training had been good the last month. The weather here has been low-mid 70s in the morning. But last Saturday it was 62, and when I did my long run, it kind of morphed into a "practice race" and I ran 10 miles in 1:22:30. With the temperature being back at 73 today, I didn't think I'd be able to do that well again. I was just expecting to beat 1:25:00 and get as close to 1:22:30 as possible. So I'm extremely pleased with the result.
My first race was a 5K on March 29, with a result of 28:08, 9:05/mile pace. It feels like I've come a long way in the last 6 months.
My next big race will be my first Half Marathon in February though I plan on doing at least a Turkey Trot 10K and a 12K's of Christmas race before then.0 -

5K trail... Up a ski hill.
27:47
First female!! My first ''win''. It was pretty cool to hear everyone cheering me with: FIRST GIRL!! GO GIRL!
I went into that race with no expectations as I am not used to trail races... Just wanted to have fun and give a good effort. I'm happy with it. It was a great race, well organized. I will do it again next year, with the goal to beat that time.0 -

Goodlife Fitness Victoria Half Marathon (first 1/2 marathon)
2:48:15 about 10 min slower than expected, but was running with someone and wanted to stay close to them.
I felt really good during the whole thing, but the local support and organization were lacking compared to other runs I've done in the city (lacking adequately spaced water stations, people that knew what was going on, poor expo). The swag was excellent though0 -

Twin Cities Marathon
4:24:41 about 10 minutes slower than my best that happened in July but the way training was this summer I'm pretty happy with the results. Best run marathon I've been at (only 4 so far) well organized, great expo, great volunteers, awesome course/spectators.0 -

Baltimore Marathon
4:43:43. Came in 11 mins slower than I planned, but the ~7 miles of more-or-less continuous hills on the second half killed me! I've never ran so many consecutive ups and downs in my life! My cramps had cramps the last couple miles! But the race was well-organized, well-staffed and the crowd support was awesome. Not too shabby for a 1st full marathon!0 -
Columbus Marathon (my second full)
Columbus, OH on 10/19/2014
Chip time: 4:50:55
Perfect even splits: 2:25:27, 2:25:28
PRd by half an hour

It was a great race- well organized, fantastic volunteers, well timed aid stations.0 -
10/19/14-Des Moines Marathon, paced for a friend of mine......Had a fantastic time and felt great throughout the race, managed to push her past the "I don't give a sheet" stage at mile 25 to finish in 3:59:03. She made her goal with 56 seconds to spare. It felt great to be the pusher! and how I felt after finishing gives me confidence that I could handle a 50K!0

Detroit International Half Marathon 10/19/14
Finished in 2:27:04, PR by just over 9 minutes, beat my goal of 2:30!
As always, it was well-organized with lots of great volunteers. There was a lot less congestion on the Ambassador Bridge, they got the wave start timing just right.0
