I ran my first half marathon (ever) on Sunday! It was grand. A flat course (650 ft over 13 miles--flat enough) and coastal weather made for a wonderful run.

The weather was good--low 60s the entire time, with the sun peeking through the clouds towards the last third. Since it was in a coastal town, the air was nice and refreshing as well. Decent number of water stations, fairly well marked course (although I was disappointed to learn that they didn't close the roads and we ran in the bike lane as a few folks occasionally drove by).

While my Fitbit didn't start capturing GPS data right away (grr) at least I have Strava data (GPS, sans heartrate) for the run.

I ran a 1:56:16, which more than met my target of 1:59:59. Very pleased.
