Reached my goal Saturday. I finished in 1:58:18--under two hours. To go any faster I will have to train specifically for the the run--intervals, hills, etc. This one also made me wonder if I should go for a full marathon. But again, lots of training. At the end of the half marathons I can speed up. My lungs feel great. My legs don't. I think a full marathon will likely end in injury.
But I might do another half if I can find one close by.
The best thing about this event was the water stations. Every two miles or so, a dozen Amish kids were lined up handing water and Powerade to the runners. This event could not be held anywhere but Lancaster PA.
Veteran of four wars, four enlistments, four branches: Air Force, Army, Army Reserve, Army National Guard. I am both an AF (Air Force) veteran and as Veteran AF (As Fuck)
