I hadn't yet set the goal to run one in all 50 states, but I knew I wanted more of this type of course with its rolling hills and vivid Fall foliage.  247 runners finished the half marathon.  I had a finishing time of 2:20, an average mile time of 10:40.  A better time than the first event, though time isn't as much my goal as getting on the course and finishing and talking to a few runners along the way, maybe even making some new friends.
