      Congrats on your first!  Careful, this stuff is addictive.  Great job finishing strong.  Keep on building and you'll continue to post some awesome times for a long time to come.

            Congrats on the double achievement this weekend. Your running history is very similar to mine, thanks for the tips, I do my first half next month.

              Congrats Kevin.  HMs are a lot of fun, glad you enjoyed your race.

                  Planning for a lot actually haha. Running the "Food Truck 5k" on May 11th, heading to China for a couple weeks, maybe a 5k in the zoo at the beginning of June. In terms of my next half, I'm looking at the Rock N Roll Half in July.

                   

                  I also really want to build up my base. But I'm not sure exactly how to do that safely without aggravating my knee again haha.

                   

                  Congrats Kevin.  HMs are a lot of fun, glad you enjoyed your race.

                   

                  What are you planning to do next?

                  2013 Goals: 1000 Miles | 5k: Sub 25 | HM: Sub 2:00 | 1 Race/Month

                    A huge congrats to you on your first half marathon & that's a great photo of you with the finish line in the background. I ran the full as well and it was a great day for a race. I agree that the park path was narrow and that would have been tough to navigate with folks slowing down to walk. Great job on the race and I really enjoyed the RR! So ... do you have another race lined up to run? You know this racing thing is a bit addictive, right? Big grin

                    Train smart ... race smarter.

                      What are your thoughts on the Hal Higdon's Novice 2 plan for half marathons?

                      Brrrrrrr


                      Uffda

                        Congrats on your first half! That's a solid time for your first! (Mine was 9 minutes more than that.)
