Took off work half a day for Jude's first birthday!  Happy birthday big guy :)

Got home and he and mommy were napping, so I went for my run.

PM: moderate 11mi. hilly run in the grass and ditches in the trail shoes about 90 minutes - practicing for the 50 miler coming up in a week and a half.  Hopefully, the marathon training and back to back marathons will be adequate training for the 8 - 9 hours of run/hiking that will be required to complete this race May 10th...

Race: Seymour Half Marathon (12.97 Miles) 01:20:31, Place overall: 3, Place in age division: 1

Half marathon in Seymour, IN - great weather and flat course.  This is a smaller race, and coincides with the big one in Indy, so I'm usually running near the front.  Its a nice course with lots of turns through the town of Seymour and a brief out and back past the local vineyard. 

Similar story this year - from the start of the race, I could tell I'd be solo in third all race.  I ran close to what my PR was from last fall, but started to struggle after 10 miles.  The course was short by about 0.1 by my GPS:

6:02, 17, 06, 08, 11, 08, 12, 18, 20, 12, 15, 24, 05

Had a solid finishing mile but really lost time from mile 8 through 12.  Cummulative fatigue probably the culprit - 2 marathons and 2 half marathons in last 30 days. 

12.97 miles - 1:20:31
