Better late than never… congrats on your PR. One of my goals for next season is a half marathon. It scares me though. My longest run to date has been 4 miles. You have a great pace and a great voice! Just keep writing as you are. It’s really inspiring.

Great work on the marathon. I cannot wait until I get to the point I can just do a 5k.

Hi! I just saw a comment of yours on amateur trigirl’s blog, and thought I’d check you out, since I am also an eater/runner/litigater/triathlete!

Congrats on the killer PR!!

Just one word of advice re your lessons learned- you should definitely NOT run your long runs at race pace. Maybe a few race pace miles towards the end? But doing long, fast runs will wear your body out and will likely lead to injury.

Congrats on the PR! It’s okay to walk a little bit during races. It actually can make you faster. There are some schools of thought to do this near the beginning of races.

I’ll join you on working on speedwork. I have gotten complacent.

Sounds like you have some great goals set for yourself!
