My only goal for today was to feel good through out the race and that meant I need to start easier than I have been doing in half.  I am happy to report I meet my goal and felt great the whole way.  Started just under a 7 pace and felt like I ran a pretty even effort race,  I felt like I was really holding back the first 5-6 miles.  I did pick it up for a couple miles in the middle but didn't feel like that put me under.  I do wish I would have broken 1:30 but i am happy with my result.  Last time I ran hobble I did a 1:31 and still ran a 3:12 marathon so I really feel a sub 3:20 is doable. warmed up 1 mile

splits

1-6:59

2-6:58

3-6:54

4-6:51

5-6:56 nice comfortable pace and feel like I am really holding back

6-6:45 decide to run alittle faster on this one

7-7:12 climb out of the golf course passing people

8-6:50

9-7:02

10-7:08 feel good and passing on the uphill portion, 

11-7:08 still passing and feeling good, I love feeling good and the end of a half

12-7:00 still feeling good and passing

13-7:18 Getting hot and I am falling apart just a little but almost there.

.1-6:42 pace 

finished with the intention of doing a 2 mile cool down but Marie was feeling really bad and need some support and I needed to get home so not cool down.

Very consistant splits. Great job! I am shooting for sub 3:20 too and I think you are definitely right on track!

Oh, it's so fun to feel good running 13 miles.

Excellent race, you will for sure run sub 3:20 for 26.2!!!

From MichelleL on Sun, Aug 21, 2011 at 20:19:23 from 219.79.122.198

Nice job, Joss. So I think 3:20 should be easy for you. It should be a fun, low stress marathon.

From RAD on Mon, Aug 22, 2011 at 00:43:01 from 76.27.16.189

Awesome job Josse! Way to meet your goal and hit some nice consistent splits while at it. Can't wait to read about Pokey in a couple weeks!
