Today after a little warmup jog I did a time trial half marathon run on the Hobble Creek course. Wanted to average around 6:50 to sneak in under 1:30:00. Thankfully I was able to accomplish this but it was a little harder than I wanted it to be.
Felt pretty good today and temps were on the cool side, although the last couple of miles got a little warm and I struggled, especially the very last 1.1 miles where I couldn't talk myself into running under 7 minute pace. Hopefully in 2 more weeks with recent training kicking in and some race magic I can cut off another couple minutes. Hopefully Hawk won't wait around forever and start the race way late with warmer temps.

Just for fun I compared this to the only other 1/2 marathon I wore a HR monitor - 2009 Provo River: Ave/Max HR: 182/195 Mile splits, Ave HR: 1 - 6:20 159 2 - 6:20 163 3 - 6:23 176 4 - 6:13 178 5 - 6:40 183 6 - 6:40 186 7 - 7:00 187 8 - 7:10 188 9 - 6:32 187 10 - 6:32 188 11 - 6:32 189 12 - 6:34 189 13 - 6:32 192 .1 - ?
