Paced a friend for her very first half-marathon. In fact, this is the longest she has ever run, having just started running last March. She really wanted to finish in two hours, but was afraid of trying, so I said I would run with her. Her garmin didn't work, which was just as well. I didn't want her looking at it. She ran well for the first 10 miles, then really felt the race the last three. It was a hilly course, and the steep hill at mile 11.5 was a grind. But, she did great, finishing in 1:54.

Weather was 2* at the start. But, no wind so it really wasn't too bad.

Way to be such a great friend!

Good job pacing your friend! N8r - I was just browsing through and saw you here. I knew you were fast, but had no idea you were that fast. Those PRs over there are very impressive. Way to keep at it all these years!

Marc--Thanks. Just trying to keep swinging the bat. Main goal is to stay injury-free.

Tom--You asked where I've been. Fact is, I'm still running, but I continue to like my manual running log. There's just too many logs to keep track of--an app on my phone, online-apps, paper apps, etc. Since i'm not on my computer all the time, my manual log seems to work the best for me.

I understand, but I still like to hear what my good running friends are up to once in a while......so post up man!
