Obviously, my main goal was to drop the excess weight I&#8217;d been carrying around for the last few years. My secondary goal was to start running again.

It was a muddy, dirty, rocky, root ridden tough course, but I&#8217;m not sure if the layoff since the ING Georgia half-marathon contributed to the feeling that it was tough or if it was legitimately a tough course. My finish time was 1:52 and some change [&#8230;]]]></summary>
