I did it! I survived and finished the Country Music Half Marathon. It was an exhilarating experience that was definitely worth the effort. I’ve been training for this 13.1 mile race every since I set the goal back in January.
Here are a few of the details of what it took to cross the finish line.
- 116 days of training
- 234.11 miles of running
- 35 Hours, 7 Minutes, and 58 Seconds of actual running time
- $237 of shoes, shorts, shirts, socks, gloves, and a gym bag
- $58 of Clif Bars and Accelerade sports drink
- $266 for a gym membership, Nike+, and the race fee
- Great friends to train and run with
That’s about it. For those of you I couldn’t talk into running the race with me, that’s what you missed out on—plus the experience.
My official race time was 1 hour, 53 minutes, and 39 seconds.

Thanks Brady. I still can’t imagine running a half even after I did it. I’m wondering if I should run a full marathon sometime now…
