Goal 1: Finish

Goal 2: Close to 2 hours as I could, I was expecting about 2:10 to 2:15.

I finished in 2:05!!!

It was crazy cold, I heard between 25-27 at the start.

Can't describe the feeling of running through the St. Jude campus and seeing these kids, with masks on, braving the cold, cheering us on. I was told that the ones that couldn't come out side, where watching from the windows that overlook the course. There was a record 8,000 half marathoners, 15,500 runners overall that ran today. It was an amazing experience.

Was leaving and they brought a lady out on a gurney and a EMT was on top of her giving her CPR, found out a little later she died.

my wife ran the half marathon as well this morning. i didn't run, but had to stand in the cold for 3 hours. i guess that's a trade off i'll make for not having to run 13.1 miles. ;)

My wife and I ran it. It was a great race. But lord was it cold. I was fine after I finished. Then I couldn't stay warm. Next year I will be smart and check a bag with some warm dry cloths.

Come out and run the Swamp Stomper!

The lady had a heart condition, but was medically cleared to run the race.

So let me get this straight. You ran 13 miles and nobody was chasing you? On purpose? :koolaid:

Actually, there was a lot of people chasing me.......;)

I placed 2,011.....out of 6,815 runners!
