Run
Comments: My first half marathon and PR for distance. Previous long run was 10 miles 2 weeks earlier. Was expecting similar pace to that run (~8min/miles). Felt undertrained but confident I could finish. Cruised along right on goal pace until about mile 11 where my body realized I was in uncharted territory in terms of distance. The hills toward the end did not help either. I struggled to convince myself to continue running and not stop. Was able to finish strong and had an almost even race split! What would you do differently?: More Training. I needed more overall mileage especially more medium to long runs to be really prepared for the run. Overall happy with my first HM experience! Post race
Warm down: Stretched and tried to take in calories. The outside of my left knee was hurting after the race and continues to ache when I walk. Probably IT band? Hoping rest will heal it. Likely an overuse injury due to under training. What limited your ability to perform faster: Lack of training. Last updated: 2013-10-15 12:00 AM

My first half marathon! My first trip to Staten Island (not quite as exciting). Drove to ferry terminal in Manhattan, parked and met a friend for the ferry ride.
Lunges, squats, toe raises and light jogging.
