Not a bad day for a race actually.  59 degrees at the start.  I had not planned on racing today.  My wife has been out of town for 4 days and got home at 10 last night.  Oliver had a soccer game (and I'm the coach).  Therefore, I really wasn't physically prepared.  Legs are tender from long run on Tuesday and speed work on Thursday.  However, a friends son had registered for this race and couldn't run due to injury.  My wife had volunteered to coach soccer today, so I took the opportunity to race. (I have a great wife).

35,000 registered runners for this race.  I was starting in corral H, which was a few thousand runners back from the elites.  Its an out and back run with a lap around a famous track here in Indiana.  Lots of weaving for the first couple of miles.  Here are my numbers for today:

 

7:07, 6:55, 6:47, 6:38, 6:39, 6:42, 6:55, 6:42, 6:50, 6:42, 6:52, 6:59, 6:44, 0:42

 

5k/10k/:  21:23, 42:10

 

PR for a half today.  Felt pretty good today and strong at the end.

Tore it up, Nathan! Great job, today - especially considering that this was not a planned race. You're going to BQ this year!! This performance after several hard workouts this week is proof of great things to come.

Congratuations on the PR and great race.
