1:53 half but should have been way lower based on training. Once I realized I'd busted my goal, my GAF meter dropped to zero. Still fun and now I have to get back out to beat it.

Did the half. GREAT race. Temp was great. It's really cool running in a race its size with 10,000 plus runners, tv screens and fire works at the start. If you haven't run a BIG race I highly suggest you do it. Very different experience than a typical race with a few hundred runners.

I had a 10 year plus PR. 3 minutes faster than my goal, 1 minute away from my pie in the sky target.

I'm considering the full next year. Never done one of those.

Hehe, I recorded the marathon on tv so I could watch the end of the races. Saw myself crossing the start line. I guess I'm pretty much a big deal now.

That's freakin awesome!
