Re: The PEC Half Marathon Race Report
Ah Tall, I guess you must know what's in there, for you to be disappointed in your time. But if you gave it your all then, that was what was there on the day. Want more? I think I heard you say you went too hard in the first ten km and needed more hills behind you for this course. There's also been a lot of stress, not enough sleep in your life, and those are going to take away your edge a little. You'll hit it. I don't doubt it for a minute.

Well done!

Re: The PEC Half Marathon Race Report
Good Run Tall - any race where you get beer and a PR is a good one.

Take care,
Ray

Tall
I know you are a weeny bit disappointed with this one but there are lots of positives to be taken out of it. PR & 1st masters, running with the leading lady and now a TV celeb! Phew, there's no keeping up with you now! Well done, great race.

Re: The PEC Half Marathon Race Report
A PR and you were disappointed? You are obviously in better shape than I thought after reading that thread a couple weeks ago. I was wondering how you could expect a PR after not being as well trained as last year and a year older, but you did it!

This was a nice race and no doubt you have a faster one in you. Just have a little patience. It's good to see you running so well and posting again.

Congratulations

Re: The PEC Half Marathon Race Report
Congratulations, Tall, on a great race and PR! Finally, finally, they are serving beer after races here in Canada. Gotta go online now and find me one to enter. Continued great racing!

Re: The PEC Half Marathon Race Report
Tall - first, congrats on the PR! As I read this, I get exactly the same feeling as I would listening to my daughter after a riding competition. Doesn't matter what the judge says, the score she gets, first place, high point, etc, etc....she is never happy with it, she knows what's inside and what she can do, and is constantly striving to be the very best...never satisfied. Kind of exhausting and it used to bother me...she's always so intense, so hard on herself. Then I realized that she is the way she is for a reason...she pushes herself because she's reaching for the stars, every second of every minute. She thrives on it..she reminds me of you.

Pushing yourself is your passion Tall...never stop.

Re: The PEC Half Marathon Race Report
Great job, tall. What a race with PR, 1st masters, 5th OA, and beer at the finish. Most of us can only dream of running like you do. Congratulations. I trust the pizza and beer were a good finish to the day.

Re: The PEC Half Marathon Race Report
Congrats. Fantastic.

A PB and 1st Masters is very impressive....and you got a case of PEC wine....how can you feel bad about that.

You may want to go faster...but you clearly are making great strides and going plenty fast for 99% of the people in any race you are in.

Ran with the first place woman in the marathon a couple of PEC marathons ago, she is very impressive. Real steady, almost effortless style.

I love the PEC set-up. It is a real hidden gem.

Re: The PEC Half Marathon Race Report
Tall, great job on the PR and the Masters win. I would guess running with the lead female would be great incentive. I hope you enjoyed the beer, pizza and jacuzzi.
