Silver Comet Half Marathon

Answered by a doctor

This was my first half marathon so I didn't know what to expect. I knew I could do it because of my training runs but the question was wether or not my knee would be giving my problems. I woke up at 5:00 am and got dressed. Then headed down to pick up my number. It appears they had a huge crowd this...
