Today I ran a half of half marathon.  I paid as if I ran the whole race, but only ran half of it.  My partner was Shelley Isaac.

She ran the first part 6.5 miles.   I took over about 1/2 way through.  From map my run, I got from Map my run that I ran 6.9 miles in 1 hour, 11 minutes. I finished at 2 hour 29 minute finishing time.  That made my average pace as 10 minute 19 second pace.  These are times I had, not official times,.  She thinks her pace was around 11 minute miles.  We will know when the results become official.   I was number 1188,

she was number 1189.  I felt like I had to wait quite a while for my partner to show up, I realized I knew a couple of folks who also ran the whole half marathon or at least the half.  It was cool to see someone who went to school with me in Porterville.  She found me food line after the race.  

I also got to talk with Dave Castro, John Sloan, and met other Wascally wunners.    I do hope that I get to see them again soon.  This was fun but I am still tired as if I had run the whole thing.  I think that is just because Fresno was 75ish when the race finished.  I did go to church after the race and stopping by Starbucks for some fat and caffeine .  I just needed something cold and wet so I had Ashlee help me and got a Vanilla Cream Frappacinno with caramel drizzled throughout.  It was so good.  I am so glad she recommended that.  Today was a fun day over all.  I hope we did as well as hope.  For both of us being 41, I hope that we did pretty well.
