murray, ky......

I drove to Murray, KY last weekend and ran in the inaugural Murray Half Marathon. Murray is about 90 minutes northwest from Clarksville. It was a pretty drive and the time flew by. It's a very nice town and it is the home of Murray State University. The half marathon was on Saturday morning and with the exception of the 25 mph wind, the weather was perfect. When I first moved to Clarksville, I was having a hard time getting up in the morning and doing solo runs in a strange area. I signed up and used this race as motivation to run regularly and to follow some sort of training schedule. They plan on having the race every April and I'm going to make the yearly trek. It was fun.
