Just a quick post to shout from the rooftops that today’s half marathon went well for me! I came in at 1:53:34, which is a PR by 1:36 over my OC Half Marathon time one year ago. It turned out to be a good decision to run the Spring Blast Half Marathon as a training run.
The target training pace was 8:35 (marathon pace) and I came close to that with an average of 8:40. I can tell you there’s no way I would have run that fast if I had not been racing.
I feel good and am resting up now but will post a full recap and review sometime soon!
Woohoo, Angela!!

Excellent! All your consistent training paid off. This should set you up well for the Mountain2Beach full marathon later this month. Proud as punch am I. xoxo

Thanks Mom! I am indeed hoping this bodes well for the full marathon, although I’m pretty darn sore right now I must say! Good thing there are two more weeks of taper left for me to recover!
