Half Marathon Birthday PR!!!

This is the first thread I've created but I just have to share:

I ran a half marathon on Saturday and set a new PR, 8 years after I set my first! I am so happy and excited. Saturday was my birthday (41) and I can't believe I broke a time I haven't been able to since I was 33! I'm not a fast runner (that's why I run distance races, LOL) and my previous best was 2:11 (10 minute miles). Saturday I ran a 2:06 (9:40/mile). Five minutes doesn't sound like a lot, but 20 seconds a mile faster for 13 miles is incredible for me!

Happy happy joy joy! :laugh: :laugh: :drinker: :laugh: :laugh:

    That's a super great PR. I haven't done that many miles yet but I did 8 on Saturday and no doubt that running 20 seconds per mile faster is a lot of work.
