The original plan was that I was going run from mile 11 back to mile 9 by myself on the Half-Marathon course, and run from 9 to the end of the half-Marathon with my dad. This would get me a total of 6 miles. Well the race started late and that really screwed things up. I ran from mile 11 to mile 9 with Mike Schram. He got tired of waiting at mile 9, and later so did I so I ran to the mile 8 marker and Mike was there too. We waited a while for any runners to come by. Clyde, Holt, were the first to run by. A little later Dustin Ence ran by, then a little later Ryan Newman. Finally my dad came running to the 8 mile marker. I took off with him and Mike stayed to wait for his wife. So I had already ran 3 miles before I met up with my dad to run the last 5.
2 mile run with Mike to marker 9: 14.35
1 mile run from marker 9 to 8: 7.20
(last 5 miles of Half- Marathon splits:)
1. 6.26
2. 6.54
3. 6.27
4. 6.49
5. 7.14 8 mile time: 56.01
It was a really good workout and we ran back to our truck which was 2 miles away from the finish line. So I got 10 miles in.
