I DID IT
I nailed sub 1:30 in the Gosport Half Marathon with about 30 seconds to spare. The last 2 miles really hurt but the conditions were great, the course was flat and what a feeling. To think that I fell gasping over the line in Manhattan in a touch under 1:48 in January 2008. I have taken almost 20 minutes off my P.B. in just under 2 years. I remember running 1:45 in Amsterdam in 2001 and thinking that I couldn't go much faster.
I honestly believe I can dip under 1:25 now and I want to go sub 40 in the 10k and sub 19 in the 5k. I will need to train even harder but with the running club right here, I know I can do it. 6:49 minute miles. Sizzle
Spent the rest of the day in a daze and enjoyed a couple of glasses of wine to celebrate.
