And then I ran a half marathon
… and I have no idea why anyone puts themselves through it! I made the 13.1 miles (or 13.5, say some people with GPS) of the Aspen Valley Half Marathon in just over 2 hours, keeping an 8:30 pace for the first three miles, dropping to a 9 to 9:30-minute pace the next nine, and…
