There was one word to describe the Hospital Hill Run: Hilly. Oh boy was it hilly. I can confidently say that this race was the hardest one that I’ve done. No, I did not PR. In fact, this was my slowest half marathon that I’ve run… and that is totally okay. In fact, I amContinue reading “Hospital Hill Half Marathon Race Recap”
