I made a huge mistake by not taking a water source with me when I ran a five mile training run after the Maymont Half Marathon. Many thanks to Kelly for assisting me. In this podcast, I talk about the Maymont Half, the upcoming 24 Hours of Endurance and the overall state of my training at this point.
Richmond Sportsbackers puts on a cross country running festival and the half marathon is just one of many events. This video is about my experience with the half marathon. It’s the second time I’ve run the course. I think it’s a good race and I had great time meeting some new people and catching up with some frequent training partners. (I also ran five miles after the half marathon.)

Several other folks from the team I helped coach became half marathoners for the first time. I tried to include everyone from the team in the video. Check it out! Congratulations runners!
