1st Half Marathon (13.1 miles)
What/Where - FAUQUIER HALF MARATHON in Warrenton, VA.
Jarod and I completed our 1st half marathon yesterday. Our friends Grant and Susan ran with us and both placed in their age group - great job guys!
It was a beautiful day for a run - about 50 degrees and sunny. The race was truly a community race with only about 200 participants! When we got to the race we were able to park right downtown (much different then the Army 10 miler) and walk up to the starting line. The race started in Old Town Warrenton and proceeded out into the beautiful countryside where we passed farms, pongs, cattle, horses and beautiful house. Between miles 9 and 10 there was a HUGE hill but after that relatively smooth sailing. The race was much hillier then we expected, but overall a really great race. After that race I was starving - this has never happened to me before. I guess once you go over 11 miles you need food! Good thing they had a HUGE continental breakfast for us at the Fauquier Springs Country Club. I think we all had at least 2 plates of food - that's a lot of running we did! :) We ended up having pretty good times for us - especially since Jarod had a sinus infection and had never run more then 10 miles before and I have never done more then 11. Here are our times.
Kadie - 2 hours and 18 minutes
Jarod - 2 hours and 20 minutes
That's the last race for the year...now we are focused entirely on studying! Kadie is taking the C.I.S.A. December 13th and Jarod is going to take the GMAT either December or January. Our exercising and training will continue throughout the holidays and kick back up once we finish our tests! :)
