Half Marathon in One Month: 21.5km

I felt so good after my 10.5km run last week that I thought I would try the full distance this weekend. Here are stats:

Distance: 21.5km (according to www.runningmap.com).
Weather: -10 (-19 with windchill), light snowfall, headwind for more than half the run
Clothes: woolie boolie socks, glove liners, nike skull cap toque, tactical scarf, sunglasses (for wind protection), water resistant cycling pants, thermal hoodie, synthetic long sleeve shirt over top, and synthetic boxer briefs

One Dancing Dan, 8 traffic lights, one ravine, one hill, and 2:19:30 later, I reached my friend's house.  Not bad for a first attempt.  Now that I know I can do the distance, I will make sure that I go for a better time come race day.
