The Half Marathon: A Recap

I did it! I am so proud of myself! My final time was 2:04:09. My training runs have been at about an 11- or 12-minute mile pace, this was 9:28. Fabulous, right? I attribute it partly to the adrenaline and partly to the altitude change--thank goodness Boulder is higher! I also had an awesome cheering squad, my mom and Jenny. Also, at mile 10.5 , a friend named Josh saw me and yelled my name, giving me a much-needed extra boost for the rest of my run. I am now VERY excited for my next run, whichever that may be. I'm thinking it will be the Bolder Boulder. Anyone want to join me?

So I'm pretty sure I will NEVER do a half marathon... but I'd love to be part of the official Hayley cheer squad :)
