The Shape Women's Half Marathon is two plus loops in Central Park. Since it is a women's only event, I got to start at the very front of the pack - right behind Deena Kastor who won in 1:16:xx. I was disappointed in my time because it was about 30 secons slower than my January half on basically the same course. On the other hand, I haven't been running that much so cannot reasonably expect to be getting faster!

1. 7:08 - started out with a team mate; went too fast.

2. 7:27 (hill)

3. 7:08 (down hill)

4. 7:44 (up and down hill)

5. 7:34 (hill)

6. 6:49 (down hill)

7. 7:55 (down hill)

(think miles 6 and 7 were not marked correctly; I was doing manual splits)

8. 7:40 (hill)

9. 7:15 (down hill)

10. 7:50 - (up and down hill) ?

11. 7:40  (hill)

12. 7:19 (down hill)

13. 7:26

The rest at 7:02 pace

Race: The Great Saunter (32 Miles) 11:30:00

The Great Saunter is a walk along the river paths all the way around the island of Manhattan. My aunt and uncle flew into NYC to do the walk with me. This is probably the most physically challenging thing I have ever done. From about mile 20 onward, I was in serious pain! So about 5 hours of continuous suffering from mile 20 to 32. I am not sure that I am glad that we finished because my legs and feet are still (alomst a week later) yelling at me, but at least I can say we did it!
