2 hours 22 minutes and 11 seconds

I ran with friends which was really cool and fun. I enjoyed exposing someone to their longest run and first "race". I truly miss the City of Pittsburgh and my friends. It is a great town filled with great people. Although it may be doom and gloom it is still a cool place to run through.

For the fitness aspect of this. I did not train specifically for this about all I put out were a few confidence runs to see if I could muster this. So stepping up to the plate with a less than ideal platform was a testament to the Turko House of Pain. I think it may have been endorphins but, where us halfers split I said I could do the full course. I had some left in the tank.

Issues: Woke up late no coffee!!!! It also caused a mishap in normal morning bowel movements which resulted in a rest stop at one of the courses lovely porta johns. I caused a 15 minute time delay in our finish.

Thanks Luke and Jeff it was a good time.
I can thank Kim and Jason for the Pasta Too experience. Pasta was the key.
