    Prime work! I've got my first 1/2 on May 4th - and the second 2 weeks later (poor planning on my part...) Don't expect to see that great of an improvement! Very nicely done...

    Nice!! I did my first one in January -- only goal was to keep running (which we did!), and the my time was about 2:21. I'm planning to run the same one next year with a time goal -- I was thinking anything under a 10min/mi pace would be good... Any tips on how you trained, avoided injury, etc?

    I followed Hal Higdons Intermediate training plans for a 5k in Nov, 10k in Dec and the Half in Feb. Just modified them slightly to fit the time frames.

    That's exceptional. You must have worked really hard in training and pushed on the day - well done!
