The Platte River Half Marathon has come and gone.
According to my watch, my time was 2:07:47. Not bad considering my goals were to: (1) stay mentally strong and actually enjoy the race; (2) beat my time from 3 years ago; and, (3) beat a 10:00/mile pace. Check, check, and check -- I did all three!
Officially, I had the world's greatest (and cutest) cheering crew. Griff and the kids met me at mile 3, mile 10, and about 50 feet before the finish line. The two littlest Andersons ran across the finish line with me. It was so encouraging to see my family along the way and definitely helped me keep going.
And lastly, following are my results according to the race's website:
Time - 2:07:41 (9:45/mile pace)
Overall place - 613/1367
Place in my gender - 264/825
Place in my division (gender + age group) - 47/154
I thrive on numbers and statistics. It's the accountant in me! If you would like to see the above information in graph form, please let me know. Ha ha. While I didn't win the race, I'd say overall I had a good race.
Not sure what my next running goal will be. I'm thinking about shooting for 1000K miles in 2016 as I'm already one-third of the way there. Stay tuned.
