New PR in the Kaiser Permanente Half Marathon today! My chip time was 1:53 - so I ran at an 8:37 pace. I was 495/3161 for women, and 1719/5923 total finishers. This race starts in Golden Gate Park then takes you down to the beach, then a small hill back into the park for the finish. We're having a heat wave in California right now, so my friends and I camped out at the beach post race beers. Absolutely beautiful California weather!!Sort of a funny story: I misinterpreted the mile markers and literally thought I had only run 8.3 - 8.5 miles, and this was a very hot and sunny portion of the race. I didn't think I could make it another 5 miles. Then I saw the mile 10 marker, and realized I had been reading the miles incorrectly. It was quite the relief, but a pure hellish two miles for sure.
This was my first race of the year - feels like it started off right :)
