Warm-up 2.1 run (8:11) before the half marathon.

Dog town half marathon.... Ran the first 5 miles at a 6:45. Mile 6 and 7 had some climbing, and then mile 8 was another burst down the hill around a 6:30. The rest of the race was false flats, one long beastly climb, and flat terrain. This was a PR by almost a minute. My garmin showed a shorter distance but we ran through a narrow cyn and my watch chimed that I had a weak signal. This was more difficult than I had anticipated so I will take the PR. (6:52 ave pace)

Ate at Carl's Jr and then dropped Cathy off at her rehearsal. She needed the car to get home, so I ran another 4.2 miles home. The first mile was the killer trying to rearrange the burger, fries and 6 cokes in my stomach. I just ran by how I felt, didn't watch the garmin, and it felt great!!! I guess I didn't run hard enough during the race! (7:30 ave pace)
