Old Port Half-Marathon Results (3rd State)

Good results from this weekend's half marathon!   It was very hot and the last 2 miles were brutal.  Saw a number of runners in need of medical attention.

Asbury Park Half Marathon 1 Hour, and 56 Minutes* (2nd State)

Very suprising results from this weekend's half marathon!   Been seeking to beat 2 hours for years - and this was the race which I was (by the grace of God) able to acheive this challenge.  

Asbury Park Half Marathon
Place: 320
Bib: 717
Name: Brian Hanley
Chip Time:  1:56:24:.1 (personal record)
Pace: 8:54
Division: Male M50-54  186/19
Weight:  194 lbs

I was not really ready for this race.   I've been running fast enough - but only was able to get up to 7 miles in training.   I believe family support and my weight loss - were the reasons for my success.    

Finished the Trenton Half Marathon (2 hours, 5 minutes)

Lost 35 lbs

Unknown to a few people late in 2012, I hurt my leg running - which made 2013 a year with little or no running. Thankful to God - that this year my knee completely healed! Tomorrow, Lord willing - I will be running my third half marathon this year and to date I've lost 35 lbs (and perhaps a few years).

Niagara Falls 1/2 marathon\Completed!!

Last month I finished the Niagara Falls 1/2 marathon with a respectable 2 hrs, 10 minutes.  Nine minutes faster than last race!  It was really a great trip with my wife!
