Yeah, so I ran a half marathon. It was hot and hard... and kind of less exciting than I had hoped, honestly. I somehow went the wrong way at the end and had to turn around and go back. Then I couldn't figure out how to get back on track, so I wound up taking a different route to the finish line. I think(?) I ran 13.1 miles.... but I guess I can't be sure. Also, it turns out that I run the exact same pace as 50 year old Thai men, because those are the only people I saw around me the whole race. But don't get me wrong-- I am certainly glad that I did it. Anyway, I wrote a much more inspiring blog about it on come awake, if you are interested.
I don't have a running armband, so I hold my phone in my hand while I run so I can listen to music. Which also (conveniently) enables me to take pictures while I'm running. Here is one from the race, as I was running over a suspension bridge at about 6 a.m....
