Today I ran my longest half marathon ever. You read that correctly - not slowest, longest. You see, instead of being 13.1 miles, this one was 13.4. Initially, I was a tad disappointed with my overall time since it was a couple of minutes slower than the same race last year. However, Running Fit has adjusted the results to reflect the correct distance and it turns out my pace is 6 seconds better this year than last. Not too shabby, huh?
Despite predictions of snow and ice, the sun was shining and the course was dry. Overall, it was a pretty decent run, although I started out too fast and began to tire out at mile 10. I'll have to remember next time to take it easier at the start. I think I was over-excited after having set a new PR two weeks ago and hoped to do just a little better today. Even though I didn't set a new PR for time, however, I did set a new one for distance!
