Kim and I were pacers at the AF 1/2 marathon today. I did 2 hours and Kim did 2:10. Had a lot of fun running the relaxed pace and hopefully helping a few runners achieve their sub 2 hour goal. Fun to hear a lot of runners say "dang!" whenever I would pass them but even funner to have a few come up afterward and thank me for helping them out. My garmin was giving me fits down the canyon and even turned off a couple of times so I was a little worried I was off pace but actually ended up coming in around 1:59:40 just where I wanted to be. Thanks to Walter B for giving us the chance to do the pacing gig every so often and also big congrats to Walt for defending his title and again winning the race.
