Go St Louis Half Marathon!
This was my first ever half marathon! I ran the Go! St. Louis Half Marathon. I had been doing half marathon training and the day was finally here.
So I decided not to race this but just run comfortably. I set a goal of 1 hour 45 minutes. I actually set it thinking I was going to race and thought it was a pretty high goal and that it would be hard for me to do.
….let’s just say I hit the goal and I didn’t even race it!!!!
Here are my splits:
| mileage | time |
| mile 1 | 7:56 |
| mile 2 | 8:02 |
| mile 3 | 8:04 |
| mile 4 | 7:54 |
| mile 5 | 7:58 |
| mile 6 | 8:01 |
| mile 7 | 7:56 |
| mile 8 | 8:02 |
| mile 9 | 7:49 |
| mile 10 | 7:57 |
| mile 11 | 7:46 |
| mile 12 | 8:26 |
| mile 13 | 8:10 |
| .21 | 1.36 |
Average pace: 8:00/mi
This course was EXTREMELY hilly. I train on hills everyday but not one’s that last a mile long. The last two miles my body just died on me. It was tired haha and didn’t want to do work anymore.
I wonder what I would’ve ran if I actually raced.
Picture Time:
I will have to post official pictures once they are up, but for now here are some photos.
I must say, my leg muscles looked pretty good in those first few pictures 🙂 I can’t wait to see what the official pictures look like. Hopefully they took some of me actually running.
there you have it!!
