The Ruben Studdard Half-Marathon was a great time, but sadly there weren't as many people as expected. The route was amazing. We ran through downtown Birmingham, over bridges, under tunnels, and ran past my favorite landmarks: Railroad Park, Jones Valley Urban Farm, and some Avondale spots. My time was 1:44...It was challenging, but a whole lot of fun, and one more occasion that made it acceptable to drink beer before noon.
Oh, and I luckily placed first in my division. |
