Greetings fellow sleevers!
What a great time.
Ran the 2018 Hartford Half Marathon on Saturday and had an awesome run! Our bodies can do amazing things!
I totally made up for my dismal 1/2 marathon run in my 1/2 Iron Distance 70.3 triathlon a month ago.
1:46:47 for 13.1 miles. I felt great the entire run and really picked up my pace for the last 2 miles and was passing tons of people. Felt great knowing I ran 8:05 pace!
Couple of photos! It was brutally cold, and it rained for the entire race. I didn't really notice how cold I was until the last mile or so and then really at the finish. The finish picture shows how run down I felt from the cold. Luckily my awesome wife had dry clothes for me so I survived!
I did however turn the pellet stove at home on full blast when I got home!
LOVE MY SLEEVE!

In the Corral for the seeded runners! Can't believe they treat me like an actual runner! Lined up right near the 8 minute mile sign (my goal for the race).

Right after finishing! I was really cold here. My hands did not work for about 45 minutes after the race. Thank god for my wife having some dry clothes for me.

Last pose with the kiddos in front of the Arch in Bushnell Park, Hartford!
This would have killed me 2 years ago! Can't believe how much fun I have running. I think I had a smile on my face most of the race!
GET OUT AND RUN!!!!!!!!
