Well, here it is...the second of two 1/2 Marathons in May. Expectations were low for a good time, but Mike and I pulled together to get a sub-2:00 finish. Actually was faster than the Flying Pig time, but not too surprising given this course was much flatter. Nicely organized race as well, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a good first half marathon to try.
Had an exciting driving race home versus a tornadic squall line of storms too, and won! Now it's time for some R&R over the next couple weeks to heal the achilles and ankle soreness, and give myself a chance to plan for the next race. Any suggestions?

Cincinnati Flying Pig Half Marathon
Half marathon PR today! Today was the culmination of 4 hard months of endurance runs, intervals, and cutting a few worthless pounds of adipose. Really happy to have been able to break 2:00, and with room to spare (1:57:36). Extra special to be able to do it with my brother Andrew, who has been a motivating force for me to get up and go! Now I have a week to recover before ramping up again for the Madison Half Marathon on Memorial Day weekend. Now....a cold beer!!!
