I know you are bummed with all of the things you didn't expect, but I swear you are being way to hard on yourself than you need to be. For now, just be proud of yourself that you finished, and you got out there and did it! That is so much more than many can say. I do think that is crazy that the runners were jumbled with the walkers. Maybe many of them couldn't handle the heat and the hills and/or pooped out? That would be annoying for sure! I would strongly suggest you do the Akron Marathon. It is at the end of the summer, but I don't recall it being insanely hot. You might have a better experience there. I wondered where you went on facebook! But sometimes taking a break from social networking do spend more time with important things that need to get done (family, work etc.) that is good too! It sounds to me like you are a woman with great dedication and self control. Be proud of yourself lady! You are amazing and a true inspiration! Good luck catching up on all of your work! Ashley,

If you were only 1 minute slower than your training pace, that's actually kind of a crazy awesome accomplishment. This is a chart from Jeff Galloway that shows his estimate in how much your performance decreases when the temperature goes up. It made me feel much better after a "disappointing" finish in a triathlon that was in 95 degree heat: 55-60 degrees: 1% - 8:05 60-65 degrees: 3% - 8:15 65-70 degrees: 5% - 8:25 70-75 degrees: 7% - 8:35 75-80 degrees: 12% - 8:58 80-85 degrees: 20% - 9:35 Above 85 degrees: Forget it... run for fun Anyway, you found the time to train for a half marathon while growing a business and raising an adorable boy and working and being a wife. You're a freaking superwoman. Exercise in the heat is a completely different animal than exercise in cooler weather.

That's awesome! YOU DID IT! My first half was a lot different than I thought it was going to be, too, and all I can say is keep at it. Now you know what it's going to be like running with so many other people, and you have a better idea of what you are capable of now that you've done it once. SO proud of you, and enjoy your social media break, lady! Congratulations on finishing your first half marathon, Ashley! That’s awesome! YOU DID IT!

Seriously, it's AWESOME. Even though it was tough, I hope you can look at it and be proud that you did it, you toughed it out, and you finished. That's AWESOME.

If it was THIRTY degrees hotter than any of your training runs you should definitely expect your pace to be slower! You finished and that's all that matters, be proud of yourself!! :) Have a great social media break, hope you get lots of work done! Weather is such an important part of any run.
