Half Marathon #2

Way back in January I signed up for the Utah Valley Marathon.  I started the training but broke my foot in March.  I was careful to let it heal and slowly started running again after 6 weeks.  That went fine and I was able to train for the Half Marathon instead.

I ain't gonna lie, the race was hard for me.  I finished in 2:11, which is about 10 minutes per mile.  I had hoped to get under 2 hours but at mile 10 I had incredible pain in a toe on my right foot and had to walk.  I was able to run the last mile but it was hard.  I decided that with a broken foot and toe pain, I should get some different shoes!  I switched from Saucony's to Aisics and so far they are great.  I am not signed up for any races but still run 2-3 times a week.  It's such a great release.  Maybe next summer I will break the 2 hour mark!
