Comments: With no true goal in mind, I set out to run at the same HR as my previous 1/2. However, I noticed that I felt really slow, so I stayed with a higher HR to see where that would take me. Mayde caught up around the 2.5 mile mark, and we ran together until mile 7. At that point, I tried to run a bit harder, but that effort didn't last as long as I wanted. Mile 12 was the only one over 9min. As I was making the turn toward the finish line, Mayde was only a few yards behind, so I waited a couple of seconds and we crossed the finish line together on our 1st anniversary. She ended up beating her PR by nearly 6 mins and placed 5th out of 21 girls in her AG. I was 2 minutes slower than my PB but happy to be running again, relatively injury free. I need to lose weight and regain endurance, however. Mile splits: 1. 8:27 2. 8:44 3. 8:39 4. 8:42 5. 8:43 6. 8:44 7. 8:42 8. 8:29 9. 8:35 10. 8:41 11. 8:41 12. 9:07 13. 8:46 0.1 1:09 What would you do differently?: Too much traveling beforehand with very little sleep. On Friday, our flight to Miami was delayed for 7 hours. We ended up getting to my sister's house at 4am Saturday only to hit the road toward Clearwater about 5 hours later! Post race
