Denver Half Marathon 2006

I had so much fun running the Colfax Half Marathon this summer that I knew I'd want to run another one. This year saw the birth of the Denver Marathon, so I signed up to run the half. Unfortunately, I caught a nast cold at the beginning of October, two weeks before the Marathon, which severely curtailed by training schedule and ability. Nevertheless, on race day I roused myself up and headed downtown to run (luckily I was feeling much better).

I finished the 13.1 mile course in 2 hours, 44 minutes, and 12 seconds--an average 12:33 minute mile, much slower than what I'd run for Colfax, but I'd been sick so I'm not too upset about it. Besides, those pictures make me look like I'm flying.
