Great Bay 1/2 Marathon

Headed to Newmarket, NH on a perfect Sunday. Family didn't make the trip as these longer races present logistical challenges w/ two small kids; I missed them at the finish. My goal was to run 7 min pace, I felt that if I had a great day sub 7 was within reach. I ended up running 1:31:45 which is on the nose 7 min pace results. The course and weather was perfect, definately hillier than I thought it was going to be. The scenery, fans and refreshing breeze made this race about as perfect as it could be. I am pleased w/ the result and my fitness to date and really looking forward to some more races in this distance range. Next marathon will be in the fall, I just can't gear up for it and I am too excited for 10k's, 10 milers, 5 milers and the like this summer.  Splits below:

Charlestown Track Pyramid

Headed over after work, didn't quite know how hard this workout would be, it turned out to be a good one. Steady rain towards the end made it wet, but the wind wasn't too bad. I was fearing that middle mile, but I was in the groove fairly good by that point and it was the 1200 after that was tough.  I wasn't quite sure what kind of rest to go for, it ended up to be either 1:30 (1/2 lap)jog for the shorter ones and 2:30 (full lap) jog for the longer ones. Pace wise I was just going for 5k for the bulk and trying to open it up on the 200's and 400's. I watched the clock on the way up the Pyramid and didn't on the way down and just ran by feel-pleased with the consistency without starring at splits.
