Well, I did it

This morning was the Mid South Half Marathon at Wynne. Temp was around 50 degrees and pleasant. Ran the first 5 miles straight and at a good pace. Struggled a little around mile 6. Miles 7-10 were stop and start at around 9 minute pace. Took a walk break at mile 10 and tried to regain my legs before the 1/2 mile hill just before the 11th mile. By the time I hit the top of the hill, I kinda ran out of gas. Didn't eat enough along the course and paid for it at the end. My time was 2:02 or so, which is close to my goal of breaking 2 hours. Was a little light headed at the finish line due to lack of food in me. Made a 10 minute improvement over the last time I ran this course, so it was a success.
