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!
