New PR (I think?)
Here's a pic from my 5th Half Marathon.... my "sole sister" and my coach and me holding hands as we crossed the finish - his idea and I hope it gets some press in our running club! While the gun time didn't account for the wave starts - and we were in the last wave, ugh - my official net time (chip time, whatever u call it) was 2:15:38.....OMG I think I PR'd without even trying. That's not me bragging, we actually weren't racing but doing this Half as part of our marathon training. My previous PR was 2:17:11. Wow.....

Only exception is when I'm a moron & try to wear tanks with it... Holy-chaffing-hell, Batman!!! I strongly recommend wearing sleeves (short or long) and NOT wearing a tank or singlet with hydration packs...

Wonderful!! My first (and still only) Half-marathon was 2:21 and change....with a three minute bathroom break (stupid girly issues!).

Please consult your surgeon & nutritionist for how to do it their way. Biggest regret? Not doing this 10 years ago! Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!
