Yay, a nice little PR for the half, and some more information about my current fitness levels. Plus, my first cash prize as third lady :)

 Recap on running blog HERE

 Figured I'd throw in the splits if you don't want to read the whole blog post: :) Aim was to go 5-10 seconds slower than what I think my half pace is (6:55-7 or so), to get a PR and have a more accurate HM time for determining marathon pace for NJ marathon. I wanted to push myself, but have a generally even effort without trashing my legs (legs were not even sore the following days!)

 Splits: 7:04, 7:04, 6:50 (oops - tail wind) 7:04, 7:03, 7:02, 6:57, 7:02, 6:52, 7:08, 7:15, 7:01, 7:19, 0.1=7:09 

Average pace: 7:04min/miles

Great job Penny on slaying your 1/2 marathon time. And money to boot? Fantastic weekend.
