Nov 16

I ran the Auckland Half Marathon on the 1st November. This was my first ever half and did a time of 1:38:22, so ran about 4min39sec km. Check out my results here (search for #7034). I was pleased with my time since it was my first race in 20 years, 5months since I stopped smoking and first time I have ran that distance. 

The last 4k’s was pretty tough for me but really pleased I have finally ran one.  Onwards and upwards now with a time to beat for the next one (whenever that is) and think I will focus on some trail running rather than on the road for fun.

You can check out photos and videos of my style from Marathon-Photos.com.  I am in bib #7034 if you are trying to see me on the videos.

Happy running!
