Silver Comet Half Marathon

Eric and I recently ran the Silver Comet Half Marathon, which is a nice, flat, close-to-home race! There were 1,500 runners, and it was a perfectly cool morning. We both ran PR's, as it was the first time that we've both really challenged ourselves at the half marathon distance. Eric ran a 1:34:53, which is a 7:15 pace, and came in 65th out of 696 men, 12/121 for his age group. I beat him (only) by a minute, he is closing the gap! My time was 1:33:50, which is a 7:10 pace. I came in 8th out of 782 women, and 2nd in my age group. We had a ton of fun and thanks to our babysitting co-op, got some "free" babysitting from a runner friend!

6:52, 6:55, 7:19, 7:14, 7:02, 7:12, 7:23, 6:52, 6:55, 7:20, 7:17, 7:29, 7:09, 0:45 = 1:33:50
