9am race time in Carmel, IN.  About 30 degrees, no wind, and sunny. 

1 mi. warmup with some strides.  

13.22 mi. - 6:07, 6:14, 6:17, 6:11, 6:13, 6:09, 6:10, 6:22, 6:05, 6:14, 6:12, 6:25, 6:29, 1:28

Really started struggling on the last 2 miles - its a climb, and the race merged back with the quarter marathon.  I'm thinking a flat course today would've been a sub 1:22.  This time is a PR, but somehow I feel somewhat disappointed with the last couple of miles.  Had my sights set on sub 1:22...

Don't be disappointed; that's a remarkable 1/2. You barely dropped pace in the last couple miles..
