Half Marathon Simulation

Yes, I ran 13.1 miles on 5/1/2010.

It was on a trail near my home, run on my GPS in training mode, and it was pretty lonely out there.

But I did it in 2 hours, 10 minutes and 38 seconds - about 5 minutes less than my target.

A full marathon is almost unthinkable at this time, but know that I know I can do a half, the 5 mile races don't look so long anymore......
