Today I ran and finished the Sarasota Half-Marathon in 2:06:12. Not a new PB for me but considering the condition of my foot and 2 surgeries over the past 6 months, I am pleased with the outcome. Race day started off cool, about 49 degrees but temperatures rose steadily and it turned out to be a beautiful day. The most challenging part of the course was the bridge where we were greeted with a steady head wind. Fortunately, that was in the early part of the race!
All-in-all, the Sarasota Half-Marathon is a great event – well organized and beautiful scenery along the way. I plan to make this one a recurring annual event.
Next up is a 5K race for me next weekend – it's the 2011 kickoff for the Bucks County 5K series. Last year, I ran 6 out of the 7 races in this series. This year, I am planning to run at least 3 of the races in the series.
And then, there's the annual 10-mile Broad Street run in Philadelphia which is on Sunday, May 1 this year!
Happy Trails Everyone!
John
