What a great day last Saturday was for a race. I used this half marathon as a training run for my upcoming marathon, and just went to run. The race was amazing, the course was beautiful (out and back on Ward Parkway), the weather was ideal, and I felt great. This combination made it a perfect day for running. I felt great and started out with the 1:45 pace group, but at mile 5, felt great and started to pull ahead of the group. I wanted to pace myself, for fear I would run out of steam. I continued to feel great, and picked up my pace. I was able to run negative splits (2nd half faster than 1st half), for the first time-Yippee!!! My garmin time was a 1:43:24-official race results are not posted yet (but I am hoping that this will be good enough for an age-group award)
