It was on of those lovely races with pouring rain again.  I am really glad I was able to keep the sub 8 pace I have just discovered that I can maintain for 13 miles. This was about the same time as the last half marathon three weeks ago minus one minute.  I am not sure if one minute is an improvement, but this race was helpful in teaching me how to dig deep in adverse conditions and in helping me strategize on how to keep the sub 8:00 mn pace for a whole marathon (hopefully. not there yet, but working on it).
