Just finished running the Pittsburgh Marathon this weekend. Kristen, JP, Patrick and I all started together and we all finished strong!
The proud finishers showing off our medals!
I ran a 4:35:08 chip time (4:50:04 clock) at a 10:29 pace which put me 297/411 in my 30-34 age group. I am really proud that I kept a relatively consistent pace throughout the race, with 2:13:02 for the front half and 2:22:04 on the back half. I took it very easy for the first 6 miles because I wanted to finish the race running hard!

Next time, and there will be a next time, I’m going to try keeping better track of my pace and training to make a proper race out it!
More shots follow:
