Results from Race

I made my goal of under 2 hours but just barely. It was a beautiful day in the low 60s at the start. It wasn't all that difficult although I did pick up the pace quite a bit from mile 11 on to the finish. I never could have sustained that pace for the duration. I am pleased but would like to have finished in the top half for my age group. Maybe next year.

Philly Half Marathon on Sunday

The run starts and ends at the Art Museum in Philly, made famous in Rocky. I am fairly confident that I can do it. I ran 12 miles the past two Saturdays and both times felt that I had the extra 1.1 miles in me. Weather for Sunday is supposed to be nice: Sunday: A mainly sunny sky. High 81F. Winds light and variable. The race starts at 7.30 so it should be in the mid 60s. My goal is to do it in under 2 hours.
