race report: Hoosier Half Marathon 2013!

[alexr_rwx]

You're probably wondering how fast people run a half marathon in Bloomington. Pretty fast!

I did the Hoosier Half Marathon (formerly called the "IU Mini") this morning with a bunch of friends from BARA, and it was lovely!

Lindsey and I headed out to the start early in the morning -- she went to cheer -- met up with the BARA folks, stood around and drank some coffee until it was time to go, and then we were off! It's the same course as it has been for the past few years, and the weather was beautiful, and I was basically just going for a run with my friends. There was some sunshine and it was pleasantly cool; nice Spring weather.

I wasn't trying to break any records today, but I kept up a pretty good pace since I felt good! Hit it in 1:38:02, going at pretty steady 7:30 minute-miles despite the fairly serious hills. Then we stood around by the finish line and cheered for friends! Yay :)

Complete results here, if you're interested.
