Hospital Hill

Last weekend was my second running of the Hospital Hill half-marathon. As the name implies, it is hilly - and on race day it was also very hot. I managed to finish, though, and get a very nice medal.

I tried to train "smarter" this year by running lots of hills during my training, but it was still a very tough day. I started out faster than I should have, and the heat didn't help. Luckily there were sprinklers along the route to cool us off, and a few spectators even offered us ice!

The best part of the race, though, was seeing Guy, Lincoln, and Scott along the route cheering me on. They stopped at two places(and the finish) and gave me high-fives as I went by. It was awesome having them there and helped keep me going. Now to start training for Hospital Hill 2012!
