Rocket City

Decent trip down to Huntsville, AL, to get in my 28th state marathon.  Rainy weekend, including the entire time I was running the marathon on Sunday.  

Jogged the 10k and 5k on Saturday, then the 'thon on Sunday.  Not sure why I was expecting a bigger event, but the whole thing was pretty low key.  Good race for me, I finished in 3:37:45.  Solid second half too, at 13.1 I was running slightly behind the 3:40 pace group and was in 325th place.  Ended up in 224th place about two minutes ahead of that pace group.  1462 finishers.  Fastest miles of the race were all after mile 21.  Completely different than my run in Detroit.  Hoping for a sub 3:30 at Eugene and I'm definitely trending in that direction.

Drank some mediocre beers while trying to stay dry the rest of the trip.
