Raced half marathon today....

1/2 mile warm up... yes not a very long warm up but I was running late and unfortunately did not have much time to get loose. Once I got to the race venue..

Sasha said to try and hold 7:00 minute miles .. gave it my best and held 7:03 miles for 13.1 avg HR was 178 final time 1:32:20 ended up 8th overall for the park to park 1/2 marathon.. I am happy with the results not only because it is a PR, but more so because it was a fairly hilly (rolling) half and alot of it was on trails /gravel...

well back to bumping up my mileage again and maybe another half in August... Definitley feeling I will be able to run a BQ time come October if I continue to put the miles in ...

Zack - congrats on an awesome race and a huge PR! All your hard work is paying off :). Make sure you take it easy next few days as you recover.

That's quite a PR! Congratulations. My predictor gives you a 3:12 marathon for this under the assumption you are running 70 miles a week.
