Santa Clarita Half Marathon

I am very pleased with what turned out to be
for me a very successful race on Nov 5th . The weather was beautiful and perfect cool for a long run , low 50's at the 7am start .
I had wondered about participating in an event like this
since i moved in Valencia in 2001. Every fall I would see the runners run past our house and admired their speed and fitness.
Now I have become one of them.
Despite the hard effort required to complete the distance , I enjoy the feeling of accomplishment.

I ran a negative split and came in 2:01:26 :
a 26 minutes improvement
from my first try at this distance.

Looking forward to next race.
