Unofficial PR


Yesterday I ran 13.1 miles. It wasn't an official half marathon, but I had 13 miles on the schedule and decided I'd tack on the extra .1 to make it a half-marathon.

I ran it in 2:13:20. Let me say that again.

2:13:20!

What?! Look over to the right side of my blog and you'll see my PRs for all my races. My half marathon PR is 2:37:something. That means that yesterday I unofficially kicked my half marathon PR in the ass! By 24 minutes. I'm ecstatic.

And the most amazing part about this is that I ran 10 miles without stopping for a walk break. That in itself is an accomplishment.

I am seriously itching for a real half marathon. I wonder if I could beat my unofficial PR?

  4. Wow, that is awesome! I'm not sure how you shave off so much time so quickly. This is VERY close to a time I'd like to hit this year if I can. I've been doing a lot of work focusing on pace... I've already accepted that the Shamrock Half will most-likely not be a race I PR in (becasue I'm running with a friend)...and have to find another.
