I had heard good things about the TOU Half, so I signed up a few months ago. In the meantime, I have had some busy times and haven't been able to train as much as I would like. But I decided to run anyway.

Scott Ensign and family generously allowed my family to stay with them. I went down with Scott to the race in the morning, and he is good company as always. Thanks, Scott!

My official half marathon PR is 1:35, so I figured I could beat that. The first 10 miles were great (and mostly downhill and mostly with a tailwind). I averaged 6:30/mile through that stretch. But then I struggled through miles 11 and 12 big time. Mile 13 was better. My final time was 1:27:41. A personal best. But I'm disappointed in my effort toward the end. Oh well. The other sad thing was that I got passed at the end by no-shirt guy. I was annoyed the whole race that he was running without a shirt, so I really wanted to beat him. Maybe next year. Ha ha. :)
