I'm so proud of myself! I just ran 10.34 miles in 1:41:49. My average pace was 9:51 per mile. I was aiming for 10 miles and my GPS said I hit it just after I ran past my house so I decided to keep going just a little longer since I was going downhill. The half marathon I'm training for is on May 6th and I think I'll actually be able to do it, and do it as well as I was hoping. I can get at least one more practice run in next weekend and I need to shoot for over 11 miles.

I planned my route pretty poorly and ended up going up two sizable hills but at least there were long downhill sections for me to gain some momentum and rest a bit. Luckily there are no hills like them on the half marathon course.

This has been a really interesting way to get to know the city I'm living in. Since I bring my phone I can branch out to streets I've never been on because if I get lost I can just use my GPS to find my way home.
