I finished which is all i wanted. I kinda wanted it to be under 3 hours but I was gonna take ANY finish. I finished in 3:10:00. It is a new PR for me. My last half was 3:29:44. I didnt mind having a slow time because 2010 was horrible and I got off training and lost my focus. I now have to oppurtunity to become the runner I know I am meant to be. I am ready to drop that time gradually over 2011, on any race I do. It really isnt bad for slacking on training to finish in just over 3 hours...

    Congrats on the run! Running a PR with not training too much is pretty good.
