AM - 11 miles up to work, very easy again.

PM - 4.5 miles down to SHP, met Andrea along the way. 

I was looking at my race log and I've now run 10 half-marathons in the past two years. Here they are in time order...

1:05:40, 1:05:45, 1:05:55, 1:06:02, 1:06:03, 1:10:12, 1:10:52, 1:10:58, 1:12:36, 1:15:50 

Quite a dropoff after #5. I'm hoping to keep that 4 minute gap! :-)

Congrats on your race. That is pretty awesome.

Very cool.

I'm sure you're going to keep that nice 4 minute gap. You don't go backwards...

Jake,

Hi. I am sure you know this...It is much easier to go from 1:10 to 1:06 than it is to go from 1:06 to 1:02!!!!! Lucky for me, I believe I can knock a whopping nine seconds per mile off my Half Marathon time...and not with too much effort. I'm that slow! BUT, you Elites - I think you have some serious pressure to deal with. I have 100s of runners to pick from throughout a race to pick off. You have like two and sometimes NONE. Hope all well.

Yes 1:06 to 1:02 is not quite the same as dropping 4 minutes from a slower time :-)

The times there weren't in order of when I ran them... if I put them in order, they bounce around back and forth... the half marathons that I have made my bigger target races have all been around 1:06, while the ones I have just been using as harder workouts tend to fall in the 1:10+ range. Not much in between.

Your statistics are always fun to read. Awesome times btw! Excel is my favorite program. Especially with logging runs and such. I'm guessing it might be yours, too........
