New Philadelphia Half Marathon

I didn't have extremely high hopes or expectations going in; I mainly wanted a solid, steady effort. I wasn't looking forward to running in the cold (42F) rain though.

The rain turned out to be as miserable as I thought it'd be. And I did manage a mostly steady pace, with slightly positive splits. And I did manage a sub-7 pace for the overall time.

That's all the good news. The bad is that I didn't break 1:30; I did 1:31:40. Even though I hated the rain, I don't know hoh much faster (if at all) I could have been on a nice day.

One more piece of good news: I was 3rd in my age group and 20th overall.
