I've been training since January to improve my half marathon time. My previous best was 2:07:45 at the Sauvie Island Flat last July. This Sunday I ran the Race for the Roses half marathon in downtown and KILLED my previous PR! I am so proud! My official chip time was 1:55:02 with an 8:46/mi pace. WooHoo!!!!!!!!!!
My running buddies Michelle and Been also posted huge PR's. Michelle got 2:00:18 and Been got 2:01:37. Our goal was to break 2 hours and they were sooooo close! We are a great running team, and I know we'll keep pushing each other to do better and better.
In the meantime, off to find a new goal. Running the Sauvie Island Flat again this July – we'll see if I can keep improving!
