I did it, It was a great run for me a PR for me but the first one at that distance. I did well I hit my markers that I wanted to do, I was going 9 min miles for the first two and hit them on the money even weaving through a ton of people. My big goal was to hit the 7 mile marker at one hour.. and I made that right on the money... That put me at a 8:34 mile pace or less for miles 3-7, which was great.. I then was able to take it easy, I was shooting for 1.55:00 and just missed it by 2 min and 11 seconds ... I am not complaining this is a great time for the first half I ever did.

 

Now I am feeling very tender in the Quads today hard going down stairs... now its a short recovery and on the Bike on Monday to get ready for the Buffalo Tri on June 1st.. less then two weeks to get recovered and ready for that.  If a person would read this they would think I am nuts...

OK it was by one second... but still I was at 7 min or less for running 1 mile...  I felt great during the whole thing.. I did get a little winded towards the end of the mile but Felt like I could go for another mile or a half at that pass.  If this keeps up I could be doing 5k in about or under 25 min  with no problems.

 

One of the guys from LFT was running it too and we started at the same time...  I got a head of him then for most of the race...  OK mark you where just playing with me... and then he passed me the last 30 yards before the finish line...  typical Mark sets back then he comes and pass you at the end.  I was thinking of picking up my speed when he passed me but I was just about to the finish line at that time and was looking at a Person Best.. Ok First personal Best for the one Mile run....

 

Fargo here I come... I need to take this as a long training run.. Buffalo Triathlon is 2 weeks after the Fargo half I don't have much time to recover and get ready for that race.  At least after that I have about 4 weeks before the Lifetime fitness Tri.
