  • Comments: I enjoyed this years run significantly over last years. Yes, the weather was good, but I also went in with lower expectations of the race experience overall. This is a no frills, low key event and my expectations were met. T-shirt was good and the addition of the medal for the half was welcome. I don't see the need to stage this event with a full marathon, but that is a discussion for another day.

  • Comments: This race is just hard to have on Thanksgiving. There is virtually no crowd support and you are really only out there for yourself. Well, you and 8000 other half-marathoners. Having it in late November can warrant pretty nasty days in some years. Today, I was lucky to experience my virginal ATL halfer in almost perfect weather. Maybe that's why I don't mind it so much. I just don't know if I would want to crawl out of bed on a holiday if it were cold and rainy. I will definitely do it again - just so that I can have extra helpings at dinner without feeling guilty.

  • Comments: My training buddy, whom I might be a little faster than, ran it in 1:24. And he place like 14th in our age group. So that is some seriously good news. I have never run this distance really hard so I had no idea what my time would be. Looks like 1:20 might be in my sights.
