I ran the Ramstein Half Marathon this past weekend and took the opportunity to get a Personal Record...I wanted to try and stay around a 4:20 per km pace. I went out a little fast but after a couple kilometers I calmed myself down and got in a comfortable pace. Around the halfway point I started to feel a blister form on my heal. I don't normally get blisters but I was wearing a pair of road shoes that I hardly ever wear since I rarely run on roads.
The course is a pretty neat course. It's flat and takes you around the flight line on base. There are two turn around spots that are cool because it has you run by all the other runners in an out and back fashion. Speaking of the other runners...how awesome were they! I got lots of cheers and support along the way and it really made me happy. I heard things like, "you go girl", "you're in the top 10...get those guys", "Girl Power!" and so many other motivating words. I also enjoyed cheering the other guys and girls on...it was fun :) I also enjoyed seeing some friends out there and it brought me pleasure to know they were pushing themselves to achieve success in their own personal challenge.
I reached the end as the first female with a time of 1:31:11, a new PR for me :) Whoo hooo! Congrats to all the runners who ran and finished.
