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.
