Race: Hobble Creek 1/2 Marathon (13.1 Miles) 01:35:21, Place in age division: 8

Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
1.00	13.10	14.10

I wasn't nervous at all going into this race. I sleep great until about 3:20. I got ready and met Michelle N, Michelle M, Cheris and Debbie at Cheris' house at 4:00.

The race started late again. I guess they said they can't get enough people on the 5:00 busses and it throws everything off.

I lined up with Cheris. I knew I would never be able to stay with her, but I ran the first 1 1/2 miles with her. From there on, I was on my own. I had gu at miles 3 and 10.

I really wanted to come in under 1:35. I feel I pushed as hard as I could. This was my test for what to shoot for at St. George.

After I finished, I got my shirt and a drink and I walked backwards on the course until I found my sister in law. I was able to run the last mile with her. That was really fun. One of these days I would love to pace her for a whole race.

My splits on my garmin were way off from the mile markers on the course. Here they are anyway. 6:50, 6:58, 7:08, 7:00, 7:07, 7:12, 7:28, 7:18, 7:29, 7:41, 7:44, 7:55, and 7:26. I had the distance at 12.97 so I don't know how accurate these are.

Nice race, given your time, it seems your right on track for a PR at STG, darn late start likely cost you the sub 1:35 with the heat.

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out

Hi Julie!! great run!! glad to see you again. glad you had an enjoyable run. The course is short by a margin-- 12.9 if all corners taken off. Hawk told Kim that if you ran the race in the middle of the road the entire race then it would be 13.1. It is certified too. Odd. No worries. Your pace was great!!!

Great race Julie. That was nice of you to run your sister-in-law in. How did you find out the race results already?

My splits were way off from the mile markers too. I thought that was interesting. Anyway, Great job! You are speedy!

Nice job Julie! You are running VERY strong! I can definitely see a nice PR at SGM!

I forgot to ask about the shirt, was it a decent one this year and did it fit??

Great job on the race, you are running well. Hope your aches and pains are feeling okay.
