Slow and Steady. Surf City Half Marathon. Huntington Beach CA
I was originally targeting a sub 2 hour 1/2 for the first time ever and training was going well until I caught the plague in December. Of course I tried to return to training waaay too soon and promptly got sick again. So I took 10 days off and came back nice and easy. My new goal became a fun race and trying to stay at a sub 11:00 min mile. I also forced myself with some insistence from my girlfriend to do the 6:1 min walk run plan. So of course we had perfect pr weather , overcast and mud 60's. I stuck to my plan and finished at 10:50 pace. My official time was 2:22:02 on Feb 2 2020. So I thought that was interesting. This is my favorite half marathon course and it's extremely well done and supported. Would recommend it to anyone
