Notes
Never thought I would make a PR today. Yoshiko told me last night that Sora would be at the finish line with Maddy, which really boosted my motivation. Definitely the best race ever.
First half in 1:36:22 (7:22/mile), the latter half in 1:42:53 (7:51/mile). Just kept trying hard and my attitude was to see how long it would last. I was ahead of the 3:15 pace group at the half. It was sort of an experiment. It was really tough during the last couple of miles with left calf about to rupture again!
Finally tested adidas crazy fast for marathon. It is hard for the soles and legs but looks like it can handle the pressure for 26.2 miles.
I was planning on stop aiming for record and simply keep running easy for fun. But now I can't stop thanks to Sora!
