NSV - second half marathon completed - with better time!

RussWTX

So I ran (truthfully there was a lot of walking) my second half marathon this morning. It was a lot harder than my first one two years ago, but I improved my time by nearly ten minutes - today was 2:43:48 for me. It's amazing what can happen when you have a good pacer encouraging you to stay in front of him.

That's so good. I'm a 5k runner and happy with that so to get through a half marathon is brilliant and to improve your time even better.

Thank you. As I said, there was quite a bit of walking, especially after mile 6 or so. There were two or three pace groups that passed me, but I knew the one I had to stay in front of to improve my time, and they were behind me for the last two or three miles. I was very tired, but I still managed to run some to stay in front of them.
