I thought the weather was perfect for the race, cool (about 50 degrees) and cloudy. We started in the middle of the pack due to our estimated times and we ran together for the first 1/2 mile or so (I knew ahead of time that Chris didn't want to stick with me until the finish line for the half, something about me messing up his pacing...) and then we each got into our own groove. I've done this race a couple of other years and the biggest notice for me is how much its grown, I've never seen the course so full of participants. I think it's great that the community is embracing the event and getting fit but from a selfish perspective, I liked it better with fewer runners. The course was so full around mile 3 that I almost stepped on a dead squirrel that I couldn't see due to the runners in front of me...that would have been so gross.
Sonya's Time- 1/2 Marathon with 2:05:49 for an overall pace of 9:36 per mile.
Chris' Time- Marathon with 4:48:57 for an overall pace of 11:02 per mile.
