New Half Marathon PR today. Finished in 1:45:20. Didn't quite break the 8min/mile pace I wanted, but I soundly beat my old PR of 1:53!

Great job everybody!

I've got nothing small or big to report. Just slogging along and rebuilding base but this thread inspires me to keep on going!

4 minute 10k PR today! 1:00:18 and Garmin and chip exactly the same...how often does that happen?

But talk about going out too fast and falling apart...check out my splits...*snort* I need to learn how to slow the "F" down while racing.

Total Field place of 523 out of 1007. No gender or age group breakdown on the race results. Just the entire field. Weird.

congrats on the pr RFC! too bad you dont live in the Seattle area. just heard of a Nov. trail race called Mud & Chocolate where they have chocolate aid stations, chocolate medals, & drawings for ..... you guessed it, chocolate. You could change your name to Runsforchocolate. My small victory today was hitting the 30mpw again after sufferring what turned out to be a minor soleus tear on last mile of my 8k last Sat. (still had pr) took 2 days off & have been doing some treatment each day this week. Was very concerned but appears to be ok afterall. 5 days to hit 30mpw, usually takes 6 days.

I just surpassed the 100 mile per month mark AND second week in a row of 30 plus for the week.

Stay healthy

Hit 91 miles this month. That's the most since April 2008. Between health issues and work, it's been a crazy year and a half.
