Personal:

I am a former runner who took the sport back up about 3 1/2 years ago. In the preceeding 20+ years I was a 2 pack a day smoker and the only excercise I recieved was summer softball. Needless to say; it was time for a change.

Not realy a race but more a time trial.  I ran a 1/2 marathon on this course last year and enjoyed it so much I decided to do irt again this year.  Sadly, the race was not scheduled again.  This is an interesting course.  First half is super flat and fast.  I averaged 6:40's for the first 7 befor the hills started and kicked my butt!  There are 2 realy tough hills. The one at mile 7 is 3/4 of a mile long and steep, and the one at mile 12.  The one at twelve is shorter but steeper.  You feel like you're walking as you climb it.  Good news is I found a second gear for the final mile and finished up with a 6:08.  Surprised myself.  No negative split here today.  I obviously need some more hill work.
