PR for 1/2 Marathon
Well, going into the day was not very confident about my 2nd half marathon today. I did something to my leg on a long run last week and could not run from Wednesday to Saturday. HOWEVER, got to the race today and actually felt good. Ultimately, I ran my 2nd Half Marathon in 1hour 56 minutes at a pace of about 8:54 /mile pace. It bettered my time from last year by around 7 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!! Feeling great tonight and truly grateful
Yours in WLS Journey,

Legs still recovering and I got my appetite back yesterday (unfortunately!) but pushed it hard at the race and chopped down my PR by 11 min to 2:04:43! I was really happy with the results, as it makes a sub-2 feel like within my reach for next year...
