Update
Some updated information about the half.
Today I looked at my "official" stats online. Turns out my time was 2:03:59! That's a whole minute and a half less!! I went off the clock but this is my chip time...so way more accurate. I suspected I would see a better time because my watch was at 2:04:something. Yippee! And in my division (females 35 to 39) I placed 38th...don't have a clue out of how many. But I do know that I finished 570th out of a total of 1167 runners in the half marathon. I placed 262 out of 687 female runners.
Sorry to bore you with details but I find them fascinating!!

I definitely see a full in your future.
BTW - your pace is way faster than mine ever has been. Did you follow a program or just gradually build up on your own?
Way to go! I'm thinking about doing a mini (or sprint) triathlon next summer--I think I could use some training tips.
I think you did wonderful !! Love, MOM
Thanks everyone! Tracy...I think I will try for a full...maybe when I turn 40! I would love to do the San Fransico Women's Marathon. Sounds SO fun!! I trained on my own. BUT I did read a few books and eat up my issues of Runner's World when they showed up. So I followed (of sorts) a plan from one of the books to build up the miles.
Trenda...I want to know about the mini!! Jacob wants to do one and I would love to as well. I wouldn't begin to assume I could suggest tips for a tri BUT I can tell you what worked for me as far as running.
Wow, Heather! I did the math. You where in the top 25 percent of female runners!! I think that must be a pretty amazing run for seasoned marathon runners! And this was your first!!!
You Amaze Me!!
