ANGELA…NIAGARA FALLS, HALF

Ran my first 1/2 at the Mighty Niagara in Niagara Falls NY on Saturday. Wanted to finish in less than 2:30, but the 15-20 mph winds had other plans. First 9 miles weren’t bad, but at mile 9 our direction changed and we headed into the wind. Started cramping up at mile 10.5 and had to keep stopping to walk out the cramps. I ended up finishing in 2:34:40. Happy to have finished it and now the bar is set for the next one.
