Don't really know what to say at the moment except I finished my first half today. Actually, it was 13.3 miles to be somewhat exact. The route was the usual MIT-Eliot loop, with a brief diversion into the Boston Common to do 2 hill repeats - the full route is here. This was an amazing run - the temperature was in the 50s, the sun was out and I felt great. My goal was to finish in 02:15:00, but I am going to say that I am ok with my time given that this is the first time I've run this far. Adam was a trooper and ran with me for the last 11 on an empty stomach and 4 hours sleep. Have to give him credit for hanging in there.
This week I taper down, do some more hill repeats and maybe throw in a bit of cross training.
