Shamrock'n Half
How did I get dragged into another run? I was in town and not up the hill skiing, so I figured what the heck, what's another run under my belt. The girls training for the Rock'n'Roll Marathon in San Diego on June 3 convinced me to come out and run this last Sunday since they were going to be running in it. I've been running a little bit and I didn't do the Davis Stampede this year, so I was due to particpate in an organized run I suppose. The only other half marathon I've done was during the Wildflower Tri back in Apr of 2005 and that one really tore me up.
I went out and felt pretty good here in Sacramento so I'm glad I pounded some miles out. Peer pressure keeps coming for me to do the Rock'n'Roll, but I still don't think I have a ton of desire to beat on my body to complete it. We'll see if I actually keep running between now and then. It's going to be lighter out now because of the time change and that may spell for me doing other activities rather than running.
Here's some times of me and some of the friends. =):
Plc .Name .............City .Bib .Age .Age Group .Time ......Pace
.110 Philip LeCocq .....Sac .2383 .27 ..9 M 25-29 1:33:40.1 .7:09/M
.680 Whitney Emerson ...Sac...740 .25 .51 F 25-29 1:57:17.4 .8:57/M
.918 Lindsay Kilpatrick Sac .1176 .29 .70 F 25-29 2:04:25.0 .9:30/M
.980 Nancy Tseng .......Sac .1980 .29 .79 F 25-29 2:06:13.4 .9:38/M
1096 Lori Roos .........Sac .1695 .27 .95 F 25-29 2:09:24.4 .9:53/M
1346 Kristin Brady .....Sac .2247 .27 126 F 25-29 2:18:49.4 10:36/M
Notes (random or not):
- The winner of this race was 33 yrs old and had a time of 1:11:29 (5:27/M)
- Lance Armstrong did his first full marathon in 2:59:36 on Nov 5, 2006 (link)
- Oprah's record marathon time is 4:29:20 at the Marine Corps Marathon in 1994
I think if I did a marathon I would want to try to do under 3hrs, but that may not be realistic... I was thinking about the goal of 1:30 for this half marathon, but since I hadn't been training specifically for a half, I made sure not to push myself over any limit too early on. I think I could have run a little faster, but am very happy with what I got, just some more things to shoot for... =)
