Not my best time for a half (actually my slowest road half in years) but considering im still trying to work out the groin/ab issue I wont get to down about it.
The garmin was dead so I didnt get any splits and I decided to leave the music home which I think helped me focus a bit on my running. Felt good at the start but could tell after about a mile that I was going to have to fight to keep whatever pace we where currently going at. I fell in behind a guy that lives up the street and just tried to not let him get to far ahead and man was that a lot of effort. Im glad I didnt have the watch cause if I would have seen the pace I think I might have gotten frustrated. It felt like we where pushing a good pace and I thought we might come across around 1:20 so when I heard the time at the finish I was taken back just a little. That was a hard fought 6:2X pace if Ive ever run one.
More sore than Ive been in quite awhile today but I dont think I aggrivated anything so thats a good thing. |
