Your age group is also really competitive, so nice job! I’ve learned to take each race as it is, and not all races are PRs. Keep an open mind.

Running with a pace person isn’t really cheating. It gives you an idea of where you’re at, sort of. I was just ahead of the 2:15 pace person, and I found that helpful.

I hope you did a little celebrating after the half marathon!

congrats! still a very excellent half-time, especially for a first!! i’ll admit, i’m a little relieved you didn’t beat my pr i know it won’t last long though against your speed, especially once you build that stamina up.

pacers aren’t at all races, but they are at some halves and fulls (usually larger races vs. small, obviously). they are usually for slower paces too, so you lucked out finding a 1:30 guy! i have never thought of it as “cheating” before – maybe more like, a run with a friend?

GREAT RACE! You should be very proud of your time for your FIRST Half!! I know you wanted a 1:30 but this was your first long race-you learn alot after the first one!!! You’ll get that 1:30. Funny, I’m just trying to break 2:30 again for my half…you are a speedy!!!!

I’ll see you at carlsbad. I’m running the half again this year! And will be trying to break my 2:30 barrier!!!

GREAT JOB!!!
