Binghamton Bridge Run Half Marathon

 A half marathon in my hometown of Binghamton that features 4 bridge crossings and a nice tour of the west side of Binghamton. This is a good race for spectators as the course is easy for a spectator to spot you three or more times with just a little movement. There is also a lot of spectator support and a good number of water stations, at least six.  Easy parking as well as the start and finish are by a baseball stadium with ample parking. I ran this race in 1:44:15 back in 2015 and managed 1:55 this time. I may try it again next year.

Hampton Half Marathon 2024

 I ran the Hampton Half Marathon again today. It felt very good - better than the Jingle Bell Half or the Harborside Half races I ran in the last few months. Yet my finish time was within a few seconds of those races. Remarkable that my last three half marathons have all been 1:54:xx. 

I did finish strong in this race, running the last three miles in 25:29,  just about the time I've been running the weekly D5K lately.
