Eight days ago I finished my eighth half marathon minutes behind my pal Rebecca Daniels. #latergram #nofilter 📷 @hollyrichardson88 We ran both halves of the SF marathon the past two years (she’s run both halves twice). So I challenged her to run the full next year and she stepped up. That means I am too. #sfmarathon2017 #verbal Finished 1st half of the #sfmarathon in 2:27:37, my first #halfmarathon since recovering from knee injury. I hit several goals: 1. Finish without injury 2. Finish under 2:30 3. Not my slowest half I'm pretty pleased with that. I had no illusions about setting a half PR but I was thinking a course PR was in reach (faster than when I first ran it 2 years ago). Missed that by ~4 min. I went as fast as I could without sustained knee pain. However, when I finished I felt like I could keep going, and that felt great. Finished smiling with gas left in the tank and that convinced me that I have what it takes to train and run a full next year. #run #runner #runners #finish #finisher #finishers #RUNPROGRAM #novemberproject #npsf #grassrootsgear #nofear #racerverything #longrun #initforthelongrun #nofear #sf #sfmarathon2016
