Today ran 12 miles on the Sacawagea Heritage trail - I decided to use the holiday to explore a new trail. So far it is the nicest trail I've found in the area - no intersections and mile markers. Large portions of the trail are close to busy roads, which isn't the best, but according to the map it is over 20 miles long. Did a pickup in 4:59 according to the mile markers.

Did another pickup in 15:08 on the same course I ran on Saturday - which is likely a little over 3 miles.

This was my best half marathon since the Monumental half back in November. In some ways it was better - the first two miles were around 5:00 pace, then my leg troubles started and I slowed down. However, instead of crashing to 5:50 or worse, I was able to hold around 5:20 pace even for the rest of the race. This is a positive step forward. I'm also very happy to be on the right side of 1:10!
