9 miles this morning at a 9:22 pace. Not bad. Feeling like I might not totally *fart noise* this half marathon coming up.

I can only dream

It was years ago. My last half was 1:59

I have a feeling this next one will be the first that's over 2 hrs. But whatever. It's about having fun and building up for the marathon next year.

Get it. My friends wanted us to do one in December, but we’re skipping it. May do one in the spring though. I’ll probably have to walk half of it

Hell ya! No shame in walking.

Did my first dedicated hills run. Surprisingly my legs felt pretty dang good, granted I walked down each time. Struggled more with breathing but what else is new.

Nice work, Len

The Staten Island Half went about as expected.

My official NYRR race time was 2:00:38. But my Garmin said I hit 13.1 before even getting to the mile 13 marker, which is typical in a race like this that's so wide and twisty.

My watch time was 1:59:20.

Either way, I was right at about 2 hours, which is always my goal. I'm pretty sure this was my slowest half ever but I kinda expected that given the wonky training and minor injuries/soreness.

Had a ton of fun (all that really matters), great weather, and really pushed hard the last two miles.

Now I feel like a truck hit me. I'm still in bed!

Worth it.

First run, post SI half.

5 miles at a 9:33 pace.

Not bad.

Legs are still a bit sore, though.

Great job! I may do a half in December. It will be at least an hour slower

Ok but what about the 5.5 miles of walking it will probably entail
