Soaring Wings Virtual Half-Marathon - 2:16 My previous best for a 13.1 race was 2:33. My first half marathon, just 13 months ago, I finished in 3:05. Stayed in Zone 2 until the last mile. Did 11/1 Run/Walk for the first hour before realizing that I felt great and the walk was just slowing me down. Ran it the rest of the way in. I had a great day, but from the pictures it looks like the real-deal was much more fun. Congrats to all those in Conway!

Soaring Wings - Virtual Runner

I just signed up for the Soaring Winds Half Marathon, virtual style!

It’s to support a great cause and some great people.  Big shout out to @RunLong and @RunWithRach.

Considering it looks like 90% of the Fitblrs are participating, I encourage everyone to join in on the fun!

Giddy up!

13.1 miles in 2 hours and 33 minutes

I had an AWESOME race today.  

Another half-marathon in the books.

No, I didn’t place in the top of my age-group and get a cool plaque.  I didn’t even finish with the pack.  But I did set a personal record (PR), shaving a whopping 35 minutes off my “lightning fast” 3:08 first attempt.  It’s amazing what a little training can do.

The best part, is that I feel great!  My legs, my feet, my ankles, my shins and my knees all feel fine.  My lower back hurt some for the last 3 miles, but I powered through it.  This was an awesome day.

So I know I have been off Tumblr for a while.  At least it is not because I have fallen off the training wagon.  This time it’s more that life has gotten in the way.  With a newborn in the house, a crazy travel schedule for work AND a bunch of workouts, it just hasn’t left a lot of time for Tumblr.

I will continue my focus on prepping for the Georgia marathon on March 20th.
