Jerusalem Half-Marathon

I ran the Jerusalem Half Marathon last week. Over 15,000 runners participated in the 10k, half, and full marathon. That was the largest race I have ever ran in. There were a lot of students that did the 10k, but only four students and one professor did the half marathon. The view during the run was great. Part of the run went through the Old City. Jerusalem is very hilly so the whole race was very up and down. My goal time was 1:45 and I finished in 1hr 45min and 1sec so I feel pretty good about that. I was the fastest of the people from the Jerusalem Center that ran it. I wore my Nebraska Shirt during the race, and there was one spectator the whole race that yelled, "Go Nebraska." The race has a cool system set up for the photos. They used my bib number to tag the photos of me on Facebook so if you want to see some photos of me running through Jerusalem just look at my Facebook.
