Cowtown Half Marathon Complete

The Fort Worth Cowtown Half Marathon was the only race not cancelled due to weather this weekend.  Today was the day and it was a cold, wet, misty and slushy run.  It was a crowed race for they allowed all the full marathon and ultra runners run the half with us.  Half the time I was worried about slipping and I skipped and jumped over puddles throughout the race.  I knew going in that I wasn't going to attempt to PR and just run to finish.  I pushed it harder than I wanted.  Something about races that make your adrenaline pump and you just go.  My right hamstring got tight halfway through due to not stretching enough.  As expected, I didn't PR, but finished better than expected.  My finish time was 1:42:58 and came in 11th place in my division out of 532 women.   That's fine by me and happy I finished injury free!
