Finishing Stockton Half Marathon in record time--1:56:57

Finishing Stockton Half Marathon in record time--1:56:56

Stockton premiered its first half marathon on 14 Nov 2010. The run featured a 5K fun walk/run for all and a 13.1-mile half marathon run for the die hards. By this time, I consider myself a running die hard. I ran the half marathon.

The day was perfect for running–around the high 40s.  It started and finished by the Stockton Hilton.  The course was nice, as it had some slight uphills and downhills.  It also took us to the better part of Stockton–Brookside.

In the race were 638 finishers–373 females and 265 males.  The average finish time was 2:18:15.  This tells you that this run had some of the most die-hard runners, as that time is pretty good time.  I finished 186th overall with an official time of 1:56:56.
