<p>So, as crappy as I felt yesterday, I managed to pull out a good race this morning and lower my HM PR a bit more. Well, a lot more. I felt flat at the start and thought that I would not be able to hold a 6:30 mpm pace. I was wrong. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I hit 5 miles in 32:48 and then 1:05:23 at the 10 mile split, which was 1 minute ahead of my time at the Rock'n'Roll HM. I held on and finished in an unoffical time of 1:25:11. I lost the sub 1:25 in the last mile... I had nothing left. I think I ran pretty even splits but some of the mile markers were off by a bit. Ran with a guy carrying the US flag until ~4 mile, which was very inspirational. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Funny thing. I was stuck at 1:28:03 in the HM for 3 years yet ran very good 10ks. Now my 10k has slowed to ~39mins but I've knocked 3 minutes off my HM PR. Hopefully, that'll translates a good marathon...</p>

<p><strong>Dan</strong> - nice going</p>
<p><strong>kfuller</strong> - enjoy your day of rest</p>
<p><strong>BBS</strong> - Rest up. I was not ill prepared for the race just feeling for most of the week. The antibiotics for the spider bite must have kicked in.</p>
<p><strong>4boysmom</strong> - although you are not checking in - best of luck with your ride</p>
