Whidbey Island Half Marathon - goal was to finish in under 2:10 and rolled in at 2:06. 9:37 min miles on average which was surprising considering most workouts have been 10:00+ miles.

 It was a pretty hilly course, and one HUMONGOUS hill that I thought would NEVER end.  Felt pretty good on the hills despite having had mostly treadmill workouts due to weather, so hadn't done as much hill workouts as I would have liked.  Definitely would like to get under 2 hours at some point.

Treadmill miles.  Wasn't feeling very well.  Much walking involved in these 4 miles.
