Yesterday was the Pittsburgh Marathon and Half Marathon. After running 13.1 miles I went to brunch, did some errands around town, cleaned, and made dinner and I can still walk today! My goal was to complete the course in 2 hours or less. According to my Garmin watch (I won't get my official race time until tomorrow), I ran 13.25 miles (must have taken some of the curves too wide!) in 1:53:20 which is an average pace of 8:33 per mile! It got a little warm and I was definitely sore when I reached the finish line but I felt great overall. A big thanks to all my donors who helped me raise $705 for the National MS Society. Also a big thanks to my husband and dad who came out to watch the race. My mom has a big test this week so she wasn't able to make the trip but my dad drove out from Illinois to take pictures and report back to her. Now that I'm done, I'm thinking about tackling the full 26.2. I would definitely need to find a race on a flat terrain - midewest somewhere - but I think I could handle it. It's officially on the 2013 "to do" list!
