Personal:

I was a single mom.  Two times over.  We all survived, despite the fact that I make atrocious decisions.  Then, I met a man I didn't deserve.  And he loves me so much.  And I love him. We lived in sin and bought a house for two years then hired a judge and officially got married(to our great delight and also the delight of our mothers), then a month later he was diagnosed with cancer.  Well we survived all that and he's 100% fine now.  But, we're really out of shape and really busy with kids and jobs and running just isn't my priority and there's so many other layers to all of it, but I'm running anyway.  This is my failure blog now.  Just to log that one run a week if I snag it.  
Somehow that matters and I want that run recorded.

Total Distance
8.11

8:54 AP.  4:30am.  Ran really easy because I am running a half tomorrow.  I'm not sure how to pace it--it is hilly, a net uphill of like 15 feet or something goofy like that, and runs a lot on gravel roads(that'll feel like home).  I know it's not going to be a persay "fast" course but I want to run a good time and there's really no excuse not to, other than not being fit.  I don't even know what a good time is.  I don't know.  I guess I'll just hope that it stays under 80 degrees and I am feeling "it". If nothing else, it will be a solid hill-training run.

Yeah I think you're looking at it the right way. You won't get your best potential HM time, but you COULD get a PR (maybe even a big one), and WILL get a great training/tempo workout. Good luck!

did you check the results from last year? that should gauge you a little. Good luck Friend. Can't wait to read about tomorrow after I get back from work!! : D.

The McMillan calculator has worked for you really accurately in the past, and it would predict 1:31:07 based on your recent 3-mile time trial in 19:00. That's pretty much exactly 7 min/mile as a reference. I think you could do even better but it all depends on the course and weather. Good luck tomorrow and finish strong, will look forward to the report.
