Half Marathon

ran in Indy yesterday...time 1:50:01. first mile was very slow...took about 9:40 (lots of people and a pee break), but from then on I tried to keep an 8:20 pace to break 1:50. Got close!

I felt good most of the race. My right calf hurt a little bit at about mile 7-8, but never cramped up. No knee pain, no foot pain.

Past marathon results and training methods:

May 2006 - 2:04:59 - all running, no crossfit. used a basic Hal Higdon training plan and had some long Saturday runs to get ready.

November 2008 - 1:53:14 - CrossFit, a little CrossFit endurance, and a 4 runs that weren't part of the WOD or CFE (times were 34, 46, 59, 1:01).

May 2009 - 1:50:01 - All CrossFit, with some CFE. The longest run (as part of CFE) was 35 minutes. I did the 100 day burpee challenge (ended April 10)...this made a huge difference!
