Notes: The Carmel Half Marathon starts with the Full Marathon, and the races run together for all 13.1 of the half marathon miles. Full marathon participants then run through the start/finish area to begin the second half of their race. Mitch's and my friend Eric was running the full, so we decided to run the half so we could hang with him. Mom and I drove to Carmel early in the morning, and it was COLD. We were wrapped in coats and blankets all morning. We met up with RSG, Mitch, and Eric, then we were off! I had a ball with Mitch and Eric. We laughed and talked and sang the whole time. We kept the pace smooth as Eric had 13.1 more miles to run! We took a couple of pit stops, as well. We also sang a TON of Meat Loaf! I really enjoyed seeing the different sites Mitch and Eric pointed out in their hometown, but I did NOT enjoy the roundabouts. Leg got really achy around 6mi, then fine. Great day!
