The Dallas 1/2 Marathon

Well Sunday was my first ½ marathon. It was “The Half” in Dallas, Texas. It was well run, the weather perfect, and a great crowd. I also ran as a 45-50 year old for the first time. Unfortunately, there’s not a big difference in speed between 40 and 45. I would have been happy with an 8:30, but wanted to get close to my 10K pace of 7:48. I came in at 7:51 (#48 in my age group) and have no complaints. Today I made it back to Bob at Southwest Sports Massage and feel like I am ready to take it to the next level. All this is leading to that first marathon, the White Rock Marathon, in December.
