Did the uneventful half - my back is still not doing so hot, so I decided to pace Chad. After about 1.5 miles, my TOE started hurting (of all things!). Weird or not, it was enough to force me to slow down. My father caught up to me, and I tried to stay with him for the next bit. I dropped back from him too, and it was looking like I might have to walk home. However, something changed finally and I was able to run with the toe pain at a survivable level. I caught my father and Chad (eventually), and ended up with 1:16:38. Just glad I was able to finish this one.
