Trying my best

I ran a local 1/2 marathon on hilly terrain and my coach is saying this terrain is similar to the hills of my marathon. My stamina really fell after mile 10 but I'm still proud of the fact I ran 11 miles at 9:35 pace on those hills.
I borrowed a Garmin from my friend Francis since mine was destroyed this weekend in a freak motorcycle accident. I love knowing my pace. The Garmin ran out of juice the last two miles though but here is the breakdown.
1 8:49

2 8:58

3 9:11

4 9:48

5 9:08

6 9:33

7 9:46

8 10:06

9 9:46

10 10:05

11 9:44

12 11:24

13 11:24

2:09:26 (9:54 pace)


I was 42nd in my age group out of 121 women ages 30-34!


350 out of 838 women!

Oh and my favorite is that I ran the race alone and beat 37 of the 81 three-person relay teams!

If I can run a marathon still posting sub 10 minute mile pace overall, so around 4:20 I will be amazed. I will push my pace hard this weekend when I run 18 - 20

Thanks for your support everyone!
