First race in the new singlet


Gave the new singlet a test today at the Earth Day half marathon (unfortunately on the roads, not the trails), but it helped me to a 40 second personal best of 1:28:50. The weather was PERFECT, and my training has been really good lately, so I thought I would go after a fast time today. My splits were: 6:33, 6:39, 6:34, 6:41, 6:43, 6:20, 6:35, 6:49, 6:28, (and here comes the wall...) 7:22, 7:14, 9:04 (for 1.1 miles), 5:44 (last mile big finish). It was a fun race, and I can walk a lot better right now than after last year's race (when I ran 1:32:22). Hopefully a sign of good things to come with my training and racing - I have 2 more half marathons coming up in Fargo and Grandma's.
