great 3M Half Marathon 13.21 mi 01:49 08:15 pace

Just a gorgeous morning for a half marathon, we can only hope that we get this weather in three weeks for the Austin Full. New course far more gradual downhill than the old course, just inches falling away every few strides for miles & miles. Wanted to go out at my marathon goal pace of 8:35/mi but it was all I could do to hold back at 8:20ish. Ran the entire course feeling amazing with a giant smile on my face. Saw Shelley M. on the course yelling for her Rogue teammates. Even though I went out way faster than MGP, this was still a very reasonable tempo run pace, so I'm feeling great about the taper into Austin!

    I heard some guy yell out "Where's the beer?" and I took a second look and there you were, running right down the middle of the street. Sorry I only yelled "Good Job!" because by the time I figured out it was you, it was too late to yell your name. Such gorgeous running weather out there! I really, really, really hope we have something similar for Austin. You'll kick Austin's bootie!

    Fantastic race, Tom! To smile through a half marathon is a great accomplishment, and to feel like you have to hold back, even at the end, is awesome. Great pace!
