Did a couple mile warmup with Austin, Dustin, Dave and Hayden. I usually dont get out to quick but I was wanting 1:20 so I figured id better not take any chances. There where a couple of clowns talking as the race got going about how all the people in front of them would never be able to keep their pace the whole race. Never saw those bozos again after mile 1. Steve got me settled into a good grove and I just wanted to keep it up the whole race. That didnt happen but I still PR'd by a minute plus. Got a horrid cramp around mile 8 and thought about blowing chunks a couple times but was able to survive. Legs where spent by the end. Not quite the time I was gunning for but I feel good about how things are progressing.

Nice one! Good of you to keeping your breakfast off the course.

From barry on Sat, Jan 17, 2009 at 17:45:58

That is an awesome time! My long term goal is to run a 1:20. Was there a lot of runners in the race.

nice race James. good luck with your training this year. you are on track for a great year. especially if you keep getting pr's on hard race courses.

From josse on Sat, Jan 17, 2009 at 19:16:43

Great job on the PR! I can't believe you are improving in the winter. Keep up for the ones that can't;)

Good job.

Good race James. I am determined to catch you by the end of the year. I know I have a ways to go, so don't get too much better!

From Dustin on Sun, Jan 18, 2009 at 18:52:04

Great job with the race, you're just getting better and better.

From Paul Petersen on Sun, Jan 18, 2009 at 19:15:21

Great job on the PR.

From JamesH on Sun, Jan 18, 2009 at 20:24:14

Thanks everyone. Barry - I think around 1000 people ran the half. Thats just a guess though. Nate - I get the pleasure of working Monday so I cant run in the morning.

From dave holt on Mon, Jan 19, 2009 at 16:12:49

Hey,

great job again on the race. Especially when you start considering that you and Nate were like the only ones in the whole race that PR'ed!

Get those shins better NOW and will amp it up in the spring.
