| Had a fun time running with Callie in this race. Her goal was to break 2:00... fell a little short but still okay with the heat. The plan was to stick close to a 9:00 pace for the entire race. Callie is not up for running negative splits like I am. 9:09,9:11,8:55,8:53,8:58,9:12,9:12,9:09,9:11,9:26,9:46:9:21,8:57,last .1 ??. Callie started to fatigue at mile 10-11.5 but picked up the pace the last 1.6 miles. I encountered her by telling her to just start picking off runners in front of her. She passed over 59 runners in the last 2 miles. This is a big race with a full, half marathon and even a bike tour. I was a little disappointed in the crowd support even compared to some of the smaller races I've been to. The half marathoners were allowed to start at 6 am instead of 7:39 as originally planned due to the heat. It was about 74 degrees at the start. I am happy I decided to run with Callie and hoping my encouragment helped her shave a few seconds off her time!

| No recovery needed after the Long Beach Marathon on Sunday. My foot felt terrible the two days before the race and then fair the day of the race. Today it felt better than it has in weeks, I also felt refreshed (other than I got home and in bed at 2 am this morning. Decided to do a faster and shorter progressive run this morning. The weather was warm at 80 degrees but the humidity and dew point were low making it much more plesant than 70 degrees with the typical 90% humidity. It's funny how much hotter it can be if the dew point is low and still feel good.
I'm thinking I'm in about 7:20 shape for the Chosen Half Marathon coming up in about a month and hoping to drop that down to about 7:10 by race time.
This is the first time I've hit a 6:xx pace in a long....time!

| Rode my bike this morning instead of running ... I'm kinda thinking that was a mistake as it was 59 degrees, 55% humidity and 43 degree dew point. I wore gloves and still got a little cold.
21 Miles @ 17 mph avg. (The route is somewhat hilly.)

| I should have done this run yesterday, it was much better weather then.
The last 4 miles of this route are the hilliest. I typically run the other direction but though this would be good preparation for the upcoming Chosen Half. The Chosen Half is now a one way run (not an out and back as before) with more of the hills at the end of the race.
I was hoping/thinking I could do a little better on this run but it's still about the same pace as my latest 10 mile runs with the same effort. So 3 miles gained is good. :-) Last mile was the fastest but I payed in effort!
