New Orleans Rock n Roll Half Marathon

As always I decided to go run the New Orleans Mardi Gras Half Marathon. This one holds a special place for me. Three years ago I decided to run my first half marathon in New Orleans, and I have never been the same. Running has done so much for my life. It has changed me in ways that I could never explain to everyone.

My first half marathon I posted a 1:49:and some change. That was my PR until this year! I went into this race thinking that it could happen, but I didn't really expect it to happen. I started the race feeling great! My first mile was an 8:01 and I knew that if I could keep under an 8:15 I could PR this year. I still felt great, so I went for it. Mile 2 was a 7:58 and mile 3 was a 7:53. This is when I decided that a PR was going to happen, but now I wanted more. I wanted to get to the 1:45 mark.... I did it 1:45:31

Here are my splits:

8:15

7:58

7:53

8:02

7:55

7:57

8:06

7:56

7:59

Final Total PR: 1:45:31

I'll Take It!
