6/22/96 My Brother's Table Half Marathon

One year anniversary of my first race. I feel like I have progressed so much in the past year. I know that I can run faster that last year. I've done a few races and since I have been here before I know the routine and the course. I am fairly relaxed.

Mile 13.1 - No wall this time. Just solid running throughout. I get a little emotional as I cross the finish line and realize that I just ran this race 16 and half minutes faster than a year ago. I took off more than a minute per mile. Great feeling of accomplishment.

1:42:33 PR
257 of 650 (200 place improvement)
