WOW....We did it, we have officially completed our first ever 1/2 marathon- 13.1 miles WITHOUT walking!!!! Let me tell you, our bodies hate us for it too; but at least we accomplished our goal!
Below are our times, but first let us share Mike's quote in response to our times: "We are like geniuses without textbooks in the world of distance running". In other words, we need some more training in the future if we plan to complete this distance again!!!
Yes, it did rain for just over the first 1/2 of the race but the temperature couldn't have been better!
Mike- 1:55.12 (8:47 min/mile pace)
Gender Place- 1260/4627 (27%)

Angela- 2:06.38 (9:38 min/mile pace)
Gender Place- 1111/6078 (18%)
Division Place- 276/1180 (23%)
Overall Place- 3286/10705 (31%)

Hey Congrats!! I prolly cant even run a mile right now. Keep up the training and u will do great. Oh and I read this in a fitness magazine, running shorter distances, with a couple of days of hard, track training actually reduces your times in longer runs. Now I understand why my coach made is run all those intervals.
