1/2 Marathon...check

So a couple of weeks ago I completed my first half marathon. What an experience. I got thwarted on this race last year after lots of hard work when I herniated a disc in my neck. I came back this year even more determined to complete the race. I think this helped me to train because I took it pretty seriously. So, about the race; again, I ran in a huge group of people. 1210 finishers. I finished 166 right behind/beside my good friend Don. He paced me and kept me in the zone with his coaching. I ran a good race I think, and exceeded my goal of 1:57. I laid out a strategy to try to average 8:30/mile, and would up with 8:25/mile with a total time of 1:50:08. Very happy with the final result. Negative split from front to back half and almost every mile. A lot of thoughts run through your mind when you run for a couple of hours, and this was no different, but toward the end all you think of is getting to the finish. Next up is the Turkey Trot 5k. I was thwarted on this raceI'm thinking I'll do another in December and I'm contemplating a full in April. I can't believe I'm actually thinking about it...
