This was the second year I've run the St george Mini Marathon and I was about a minute faster than last year.
Time was 1:38:44 (7:32 per mile)
This wasn't a PR, but I was happy with my time, based on my training and I was glad to run and feel good and I felt really strong especially during the second half of the race.
It was so fun to run with Mary and some of my friends and it was great to have Paul and the kids cheering for me as I finished.
The weather was really nice and it was only a little sunny for the last mile.
