Rock and Roll, Baby

I made it through the half-marathon.

Mile 1: This isn't so bad. Only 12.1 to go.
Miles 2-9: Doing ok, steady pace. Nice, flat course. Two slight dips but the Dish, my dear friend, makes them seem miniscule.
Mile 9.6: Energy gel stop. Energy would be good. Down the hatch.
Mile 9.8: Left side stitch! Go away, go away. Tighten abs and release, repeat.
Mile 11: Want to stop running and walk. Ah! Accelerade stop, good excuse to slow down and grab a drink. Don't really want to start running again. Tom pushes me on - we're almost there!
Mile 13: Is that it? Is that the finish line? My feet are feeling slightly numb but the finish is SO CLOSE.

2:16
