Comments:

Never ran a race w/ the intention of going as fast as could before this. Since my 1/2 mary training is peaking I figured I'd go for it. Started off at a pretty good pace but felt comfortable. Settled in. at the 2 mile marker I started to tire. Decided I'd try to not let the gap btween me and a woman ahead widen. It was tough. W/ about 1/2 mile to go I was able to pick up the pace and ended w/ a sprint. I was winded. No clock or official time posted so i asked a guy who finished behind me and he said he was 21:30. I was shocked! my goal was 24 minutes.This way exceeded my expections. I'm usually a 9 minute miler. Guess I ralized I don't push myself. 21:01 is official! cant believe it! Now I really think I can get faster at longer distances. Thank you chi running!
