Calgary Police Half Marathon


My intention for this race was to see how far my training has come over the last couple months by beating my personal best time of 1:40:13. My goal was to run at a 4:15km pace as long as possible with a completion time around 1:30:00. The first 5km were fast, I must have been running on pure adrenaline as my pace averaged around 3:50 - 4:00, I could beat my target time! The adrenaline soon faded, and the nasty cold that was still lingering decided to punch me in the lungs and nasal cavities. I completed the race with a disappointing time of 1:42:08 and lungs that were set on fire! If I had been over the cold, and not missed 4 days of training the week prior, I am confident that I would have beaten my personal best. My next goal is to set a new PB at the Calgary full Marathon (PB - 3:37:29) Photos
