Joe Allen ran the Parkersburg Half Marathon and finished with a time of 2:24:54.
This is a tough, very hilly course with no shade. It’s also the Road Runner’s Club of America’s state championship so it always has good runners from all over the country. We had cloud cover for most of the race but the humidity was brutal and it really took a toll as the race wore on. The last several miles I had to walk at every mile marker just to catch my breath enough to go on. I did win 2nd place in my age group (out of 7), so that was pretty cool as in all the years that I’ve run this race, I never placed higher than 4th.
Judith Proulx-snedden ran the Chelsea 1/2 Half Marathon with a finishing time of 1:48.44. This was a personal record by 6 minutes!
New carbon plate shoes! I felt amazing. I let myself run by feel and not trying to pull back because I was running faster than I thought I could. No pain, no blisters. It felt awesome. I finished 2nd in my age group.
Brian Atkins ran the AFC Half Marathon and finished this race in the time of 2:18:05.
