Great job Eric!!!! That was an awesome time for a first 1/2 marathon. Just imagine how much better the next one will be with no move and plenty of sleep. Looking forwards to your splits. Paul
SWEET TIME AND AWESOME RACE! CONGRATULATIOS! Looks like you ran very smart--started out in control and then picked it up and stayed in control the whole race. What an excellent pace. It sounds like you probably could've kept going too! Once again, CONGRATULATIONS! :)
Hey, hey, hey. Way to go! All those miles really paid off. You once said you wanted to be just like me. Well, you never made it. You passed right by me. Super bien hecho.
Paul, Can you believe it? Yes, hopefully without moving & better sleep would imply better time...
April, I have to be honest and say that I cried a little bit when I saw the finish line within my grasp. And, I owe you 1 minute 46 seconds, but tried my best! =)
Burt, es un honor su comentario. Pasarlo? No creo...imitarlo, tal vez.
Jun, you have no idea the degree of satisfaction I feel this moment. =)
Kelli, sorry for the splits, but in mile terms, I ran an average of little bit more than 8:00 min/mile.
Hey, you would be so proud! I actually figured that one out on my own (cause I ran a 1:48 before and your race was close!!!)
Whatever it is km's or miles, you rocked and rolled!
I am looking for a 50k to run, so then I will be in with the K's!!!!

Your time was spectacular--you did me proud!--especially with all the passing and sprinting at the end--way to bring it home! Looks like you have another HM lined up for next month? I think sub--1:45 is within your reach in the very near future!

Hi Eric -
I noticed you commented on my 8k race report. Thanks for that. Sounds like you had a great half. Congrats. I'll keep an eye on your blog.

Great Race Eric!!! Thanks for the report, it was very inspiring! Remember that recovery is the most important part of training. Take it easy for next week or so, no matter how good you feel. You are in great shape!

Just wanted to thank everybody for the comments. I really appreciate them all.
A boy I was talking to after the race asked me how long had I trained for the race, when I told him it was three months, he was surprised on how long it had been.
Now that I think of it, those were 3 long months of training, but worth every day of them! Now, if I can only restart the engine and continue the training ...
Thanks all, have a great day!
