Georgetown Half Marathon 2007

As a training race for the summer session, my running group ran the Georgetown to Idaho Springs Half Marathon in August. This was a fun little race. It was freezing cold at the start, but once we got going (and out of the shade) it warmed up considerably.

I took my time on this one, wanting to stay fresh and injury free (I'd sprained my ankle in June and had been trying to take things easy while I recovered). It's a downhill course, which is harder on the knees than uphill, so I was definitely taking care and taking my time. But I had a nice strong finishing sprint at the end, and then hung out with my sweetie Sara and the rest of Runner's Edge for a while at the party.

Oh, yeah, my finishing time? Two hours, 17 minutes, 46 seconds. Almost a half hour faster than Denver in 06.
