Phoenix Half Marathon 2014- Danya

I decided to run this race a little last minute, I thought I might but wasn’t totally sure until the week before. We drove there on Thursday and made it a fun family trip.  I got in about a 2 mile warm up, and then started out running with Kassi for the first few miles.  The windy conditions really got to me and I backed off my pace a little. I am really disappointed with my time (1:22ish) mostly because I feel like I chickened out a bit and didn’t stick it out.

Other than the weather conditions the course was good, I didn’t love that the 10k started on the half course it created a bit of a bottleneck.  The awards were delayed and the timing messed up.  I placed 4th overall and 1st in my division.  I had a great 2 mile cool down with Kassi.


I’m excited now to take a little break and then start ramping up my miles for a spring marathon.
