13.1
Even though I'm running the Philly Half Marathon later this month, on Sunday I ran the Spirit of Pittsburgh Half Marathon. I expected it would be hard, because a half marathon means you run a lot. Like 13.1 miles. But it turns out, not so hard. No so hard when you've been training at 6000' above sealevel and then run at about 700' above sealevel.
It just could not have gone better--it was a total pleasure with no pain and almost no discomfort. And running around Pittsburgh and over the West End Bridge, the 31st Street Bridge, and the Hot Metal Bridge. Oh, and past our apartment!
You can tell how much I was enjoying it, because I was all smiles at mile 8.
