Now I see what kind of effect those hills had on the first half-marathon, as I finished the Indy Mini-Marathon in 1:34:40. Very pumped with my time. Running on the Speedway was definitely the toughest part of the race IMO; it was very cool to do though, as I had never been to the track before. With my new time, I can now submit to start in Corral B at the Chicago Marathon.
Also, I've been telling myself, if I broke 100 minutes, I would finally reward myself by getting a Garmin. Do any of the runners on here have a running watch? Is there any difference between the 205 and 305, outside of the heart monitor?
