I woke up at 4:20 am to take care of the dogs I am dogsitting, then headed off to the half marathon around 4:45 (6 am start). It was a balmy 71 degrees, 100% humidity. No luck for me and these halfs. :/ But, still a personal record! No Disney characters to wait in line to see. ;) I would have been slightly faster but I ran with my (slower but still awesome) friend Spencer for the first half of the race - it was his first half. Then, I was a bad friend and left him for the last half (I'll blame it on the only child part of me). I made up a lot of time on the last half and averaged out at 10:47 per mile.
After I finished, I ran into friend/co-worker/runner Morgan who was running the 8k that started at 9 am (more like she found me after seeing that I finished) and had an amazing breakfast with Spencer (my running buddy) at First Watch. I headed back to Kristin's to let the dogs out and shower, then headed into work for an 8 hour shift starting at noon. As you can imagine, a long day. :)
