Everything felt great right from the start as we started with the 2:30 pace bunny and worked our way to the 2:20 pace bunny by kilometer 8. From there we slowly increased our pace, hoping to see the 2:15 pace bunny, but never quite made it. Anyway I look at it, it is another Personal Best and I'm very happy with my results.

First off, my time of 2:19:54 is a PERSONAL BEST! So I'm very happy for that. At 12k I was 4 min ahead of the 2:20 goal and it was looking like I may be able to finish in 2:15. Unfortunately, things went down hill from there. I became tired very fast, so my pace slowed down, but I still managed to keep doing 14:1s. It was also cold, especially with all the sweat pouring off of me.

Overall, I'm very glad I did it, and I did it faster than any other half marathon. Now to take some time off, to give my hip some much needed rest, and then plan for my next half. Hopefully for that one, I will set a goal of running it without walking.
