Last Saturday I finished my 4th Half Marathon (but my first since 2003!) I have gotten so into marathon running the last few years that I really had forgotten how much I enjoy the half marathon distance. It's enough of a distance to train for and feel accomplished about running but not enough to completely take over your life like marathon training can sometimes do.
I trained really well, but unfortunately became injured about two weeks before the race. I ran a pretty painful race last week, but I survived and even managed to come in under two hours (1:56). I was hoping for a bit better, but with being injured and all, I'm happy that I was just able to finish. You can read a more detailed description of the race over at my fitness blog here.
It was a beautiful and flat course long the Western Maryland Rail Trail and the weather was gorgeous.
The weather around here has been so wonderful this last week...until yesterday that is. We had a little tease of fall and now we're back up into the 90's again. Oh well, it will hopefully cool off again soon. I sure do love this time of year!!

Well done, Dadra!
Congratulations!!! I told Mo a little while back you were about to run a race and all he said was "really is there anything posted on her blog about it yet" He has since decided he wants to run another marathon. He's got to keep up with you!!!
