Pre-race routine:

Frantic morning, as usual. Trying to get the kids out of the house, laundry done, etc. Debated if I wanted to go, because I really did not want to run in the rain. But since it was not raining, I proceeded with my plan and brought the kids to my mom's. They were all suppose to come with and watch me run, but since it was kind of chilly, they decided to not go. After taking a wrong turn on the way to the track, I got there at 9:40 for a 10:00 start.
Event warmup:

Walked to the registration, got my stuff, walked to my car to put the shirt and bag away, walked to the start line.

Comments:

Felt really good throughout. Didn't stop for any water, didn't need it. Ran the entire course, no walking at all which was my goal. Overall a nice little race. Waiting for the race results to be posted. Race was not chip timed, which is okay.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, I was really happy to be able to run the entire course. Of course, I would like to say that I wish I had trained more, but it shows me how much work I have to do for the half marathon.

Event comments:

A really small and fun run. I would definitly do this one again next year.
