Notes
46F 80%H 40DP, The Atlanta Half Marathon, downtown Atlanta, Number C9246. Was cold when we got there, appx. 39F, but it warmed up. I took a throwaway short sleeve shirt to wear until starting time. Not a bad run considering.
I think that two months ago I wouldn't have been able to run 13.1 without stopping, and a month ago I would probably have run it at 12:xx mpm, something over 12:00 mpm. So, I'm happy enough with the improvement I've made, especially given that I only took one day off from running (yesterday) and ran 10 miles the day before. Also I didn't have to walk even with the hills.
So, I think I'm on track to be back sub 2:00 for the Albany Half. I may not be able to get down to 1:50 by then (my goal) but at least I should be in the neighborhood.
Used a new heart rate monitor for the first time and my heart rate was all over the place.
As in prior years I took the Fleet Feet shuttle. I got up at 0400, but should have gotten up at 0345.
