I ran the Jingle Bell Half Marathon, the same race I did two years ago in a time of 1:48. This time I did it in 1:55:47. This course isn't easy, with over 500 feet of elevation gain. I'm not in the greatest running shape - mostly because of weight - and did about as well as I could expect. I'm more impressed with how I did two years ago on this course!
This race is a great one to run. At Northern Essex Community College, there is plenty of parking near the start and finish lines (which are essentially the same place.) There was good swag including a hooded pullover and a long sleeve t-shirt. Good post-race food including bananas, energy bars, pizza and hot chocolate. It's an attractive course as well with a lot of farms and animals to look at. Not a course to PR on, but certainly an enjoyable race.
